The wider storm

A weak upper level trough and a slow moving surface front helped spark some scattered severe convection across the CSRA. Moderate wind shear and substantial instability helped organize clusters of storms to produce damaging gusts across Burke County with multiple trees down.

Began near Waynesboro Burke Arp (33.0100, -82.0167).
