The wider storm

An upper trough translating across the eastern seaboard combined with a surface frontal boundary moving through the Southeast resulted in a round of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Surface based CAPE values around 3000 J/kg along with remnant outflow boundary collisions resulted in a few storms to become strong, with 2 becoming severe.
