The wider storm

An impulse riding along a west to east boundary stalled near the Mason-Dixon line produced severe thunderstorms and heavy rain across sections of South Jersey from late afternoon through the evening hours on August 7th. Strong winds knocked down trees, and torrential downpours on ground already saturated from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias produced flash flooding on many roadways and small streams in the area.

Began near Cardiff (39.4331, -74.6156).
