An outflow boundary approached the Altamaha River basin during the mid afternoon from the north. A quasi-stationary front was draped northwest to southeast near the basin. In addition, the low level atmosphere was unstable with CAPEs over 2500 J/kg and lapse rates were decreasing aloft as an upper level short wave trough approached from the northwest. A few isolated severe storms developed near the Altamaha River basin and drifted southeast while producing large hail and wind damage. Storm total rainfall amounts neared 4 inches across portions of Jeff Davis and Appling counties. These storms interacted with the east coast sea breeze over Brantley, Pierce and Ware counties where cells began to rotate...and continued to produce large hail and damaging winds. Additional storms developed across Clinch and Echols counties in the evening where the east and west coast sea breezes combined with outflow boundaries.
