The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
Although high pressure aloft continued across the southern U.S., an upper trough was moving through the northeast U.S. A weak trough extended from the main low pressure area in the northeast into the southeast U.S. With very warm, moist, unstable air remaining in place across the region, scattered to numerous thunderstorms develop during the afternoon and evening once again. Several of the storms became strong and produced non-severe wind gusts and hail. Isolated storms reached severe limits.
