What the National Weather Service wrote

The wider storm

Strong instability, moderate levels of downdraft CAPE, ample bulk shear and a passing mid-level shortwave led to an environment supportive of strong/severe thunderstorms upstream, before activity approached the coast and entered coastal waters with a cold front during evening hours.

Began near Tybee Island (32.0300, -80.8700).
