A weak trough over the east coast, combined with a boundary in our vicinity, provided the focus for scattered shower and thunderstorm development. Instability was moderate, but winds aloft were weak, and thus most storms remained under severe limits, however a few strengthened enough to produce strong winds. These storms did produce brief heavy rainfall, with a few areas experiencing mainly minor flash flooding. A stronger cold front pushed through on the 8th bringing a pattern change to the region.
