What happened
The episode as NWS PAH wrote it up.
A couple of isolated marginally severe wind and hail events occurred. A weak cold front moved southeast into the Lower Ohio Valley during the night. This front, combined with an approaching upper level disturbance over the Plains, triggered numerous thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms began developing during the early afternoon as temperatures climbed into the lower 90’s and the atmosphere became quite unstable. The storms decreased in intensity as the atmosphere cooled later in the evening.
What forecasters said that day
