A stationary front across the area combined with well above normal temperatures allowed for the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area. A few storms were able to become strong with one cell in north Georgia reaching severe thresholds. This cell was able to produce large hail of 1 to 1.25 inches before quickly dissipating.
