The wider storm

Thunderstorms developed in a highly unstable environment along a lingering boundary from a MCS that moved through the night before. Weak flow led to slow moving storms, propagating slowly along an outflow boundary. With precipitable water exceeding 2 inches and high soil moisture, this led to flash flooding near the Savannah River.

Began near Pinehouse Xrds (33.7011, -81.8432).
