From March 14 to March 15, 2008 a slow pressure system moved across the eastern United States. The system drew warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and forced cooler air into it from further north, generating a cold front. The cold front sparked thunderstorms. Wind shear, a difference in wind speed and direction with altitude, set some of these storms rotating, turning them into supercells, the kind of storm that produces the vast majority of sigificant tornadoes. On the Evening of March 14 an isolated supercell produced an EF2 tornado that tracked through downtown Atlanta. The system continued on to rpduce several dozen more tornadoes in the Southeastern U.S.
