The wider storm

A summer-like pattern including high CAPE/low shear and both Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast sea breezes resulted in numerous convection across interior northeast FL and southeast GA. Pockets of dry air aloft as well as cooler than normal mid level temperatures resulted in isolated severe wind gusts as well as small hail. Slow storm motion also produced localized very heavy rainfall.

Began near Purvis Still (30.4900, -82.7600).
