A strong mid-level shortwave rounding the base of a parent low centered across the Great Lakes region encountered an environment displaying a warm and moist airmass, leading to thunderstorm development across the Southeast United States. Thunderstorms congealed into clusters with bowing segments, eventually sweeping through the region within an environment displaying unusually strong mid-level flow, moderate to high levels of instability, strong downdraft convective available potential energy (DCAPE) and low-level backing winds supporting high levels of 0-3 KM storm relative helicity. Severe thunderstorms developed as a result, producing straight-line wind damage and a few tornadoes across southeast Georgia during late afternoon into early evening hours.
