The wider storm

A hot and humid air mass led to strong destabilization with surface based CAPE near 4000 J/kg in the Central Savannah River Area. While shear was weak, dry air aloft and strong low level lapse rates supported a few storms reaching severe limits.

Began near Keysville (33.2799, -82.2263).
