A broad area of surface low pressure was in place from Alabama through the Ohio Valley, with a strong upper level system over the Missouri Valley. The upper low retrograded to the west during the day on the 3rd while additional deep moisture pushed into the area from the Caribbean. Showers and embedded thunderstorms developed during the afternoon, and with strong winds aloft associated with the upper low, some of the thunderstorms became strong, with one severe thunderstorm in central Georgia.
