On August 24th tropical storm Fay reached its western most position in extreme southeastern Louisiana.  By the 25th, Fay had resumed a northeastward motion around a weakness in the upper ridge and in advance of an approaching frontal system.  After heating combined with the abundant tropical moisture over the area during the afternoon of the 24th to produce scattered to numerous bands of showers and thunderstorms, many with locally very heavy rain and frequency cloud-to-ground lightning.  However, no flash flooding or severe weather was reported on the 24th.  By the 25th, the remnants of Fay had moved northeast back into Mississippi.  Outer rain bands began to spread back into west Georgia by morning and continued moving east during the day.  With daytime heating, these bands of showers and thunderstorms intensified.  Several thunderstorm cells exhibited rotation on Doppler radar during the afternoon and evening and prompted tornado warnings.  There was one report of a funnel cloud in Upson county, but no confirmed tornado touch downs were observed and no damage was reported on the 25th.
Locally heavy rain was also an issue, especially in the northeast Georgia mountain counties where heavy rain had persisted during the morning hours.  Significant rises were observed on creeks, streams, and rivers in the area, but none exceeded their banks in the Peachtree City warning forecast area and no flooding/flash flooding was reported on the 25th.

A cold front moved southeast across the Plains and moved into northwest Iowa during the early morning hours of the 29th.  The airmass was quite unstable ahead of the front with CAPE values in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range and lifted indices in the -3 to -6 C. range. Weak shear was present with 20 to 25 kts of shear available.  The amount of CAPE in the -10 to -30 C. layer of the column was relatively modest at 200 to 500 J/kg.  With the freezing level relatively high for late September at 12,800 feet, hail was limited.  The downdraft CAPE was quite high, in the 800 to 1100 J/kg range.  Ample moisture was available aloft with 850 mb dewpoints around +12 C. and a 30 kt jet was present.  A line of thunderstorms formed during the afternoon ahead of the cold front.  The line moved southeast into Iowa after sunset and was elevated in nature.  The line took on a few bow echo segments, which produced gusty winds in the 35 to 45 MPH range.  A few stronger areas appeared.  One storm embedded on the west end of the line intensified just enough that a 58 MPH wind gust was recorded near Creston in Union County.
