The wider storm

The remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur moved into the southeastern US which led to a significant surge of moisture into the area. The air mass became highly unstable in the afternoon and evening with MLCAPE values around 2500 J/kg. Storms developed along a surface trough in Georgia with strong low level convergence which led to a line of storms that moved through the area producing damaging wind gusts.

Began near Martinez (33.5275, -82.0882).
