An upper low over the northeast U.S. was providing a colder northwest flow aloft to the southeast states.  Meanwhile, a weak front had stalled just south of the area.  Scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours of the 25th and continued into the early morning hours of the 26th.  A similar situation was repeated during the afternoon of the 26th, although the focus had shifted a little further south into central Georgia at that time.  The storms produced intense cloud-to-ground lightning, marginal severe hail, and some wind damage.
