Wider weather episode
As had been the case for a few days, the Southeast states remained on the northern periphery of weak upper level ridging on the 15th. Ample moisture and warm temperatures, very summer-like in nature, allowed for enough instability to produce scattered thunderstorms especially across north Georgia. A few of these thunderstorms were able to reach severe levels, with scattered reports of large hail.
