Wider weather episode

A sharply negatively tilted trough was rotating through the mid-south and southeast U.S. with an associated strong cold front. The air mass across the southeast in advance of the front was only marginally unstable and modestly moist, but the air mass behind the front was noticeably cooler. However, the strong dynamics associated with the upper trough overcame the rather meager thermodynamic environment resulting in scattered bands of severe thunderstorms that tracked across mainly central Georgia during the afternoon.
