An upper-level low was intensifying over the northeast United States and beginning to dig southward into the mid-Atlantic. High pressure aloft was located over the southwestern United States.  This resulted in an increasingly active northwest flow aloft over the southeast United States.  A weak front was draped across central Georgia and served as a focusing mechanism for afternoon thunderstorms, a few of which approached severe limits.  As the evening progressed the coverage of the thunderstorms increased across east and central Georgia.  The activity lingered into the early morning hours of the 16th.
