The wider storm

A cold front moved across SE GA from the NE in the afternoon and became nearly stationary across the local forecast area near the GA/FL line. Aloft, upper level forcing rotated across the area within the base of an 500mb trough. The combination of diurnal heating, frontal convergence, and upper energy fueled numerous strong to severe storms across the local area.

Began near Prentiss (31.8044, -82.4224).
