The wider storm

A lingering boundary combined with an approaching shortwave to provide enough support and instability to support numerous showers and thunderstorms, including a few strong to severe storms. A severe thunderstorm over downtown Atlanta produced extremely high rainfall rates, accumulating 1 to 1.25 inches in 15 minutes. In total, this area received 2.5 to 3.0 inches, but in an hour or less, resulting in significant flash flooding of Atlanta landmarks and residential areas.

Began near Jeffersonville (32.6500, -83.3100).
