Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A weakness in the subtropical ridge was noted across the southeast U.S., with the center of a strong subtropical ridge persisting across Texas and off the east coast in the central Atlantic. A subtle upper trough was noted across the Mid-Atlantic region, with an extension of this trough into the southeast U.S. A hot, humid, air mass also remained in place across the southeast U.S. These synoptic features provided for scattered to numerous thunderstorms on the 4th of July in 2011. Activity began quite early, namely in the late morning, and persisted until midnight across parts of north Georgia. Cloud-to-ground lightning was particularly intense, resulting in several lightning-related fires. Several thunderstorms also became severe during the mid-afternoon to early evening, mainly across north Georgia, producing damaging downburst winds and quarter to half-dollar-sized hail. Extremely erratic thunderstorm movement was observed throughout this event as thunderstorms propagated on outflow boundaries throughout the afternoon and evening. Initial thunderstorm movement/propagation was northeastward, but by the end of the day had become southeastward. Numerous cell mergers were also noted throughout this convective event.
