The wider storm

Steep mid-level lapse rates with sufficient instability ahead of a cold front sparked numerous thunderstorms across the area with severe weather. Most of the reports were in the form of large hail, and wind damage was confined to the Valdosta area. However, significant wind damage did occur in Valdosta due to a downburst.

Began near Eugene (29.6100, -83.0600).
