The wider storm
A deep, closed low continued to move grudgingly through the southeast United States. An associated nearly occluded front was located from middle Tennessee to the central Alabama Gulf Coast. A warm, unstable air mass continued across Georgia in advance of the front. Earlier convection had pushed a pre-frontal trough into central Georgia. This trough served as a focus for scattered afternoon and early evening thunderstorms across east central and middle Georgia. Several of these became severe producing damaging wind gusts. All hail reported with these thunderstorms was penny-size or less.
Began near Lothair (32.3233, -82.6631).
