Wider weather episode

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.
