What happened

The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.

A cold front approached the area on the 9th. Ahead of the front, warm and humid air led to unstable conditions. The instability combined with the boundary and an upper-level disturbance to trigger showers and thunderstorms on the afternoon and evening hours of the 9th. Some thunderstorms became severe, producing large hail and damaging winds.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 2:10 PM EST, 55 minutes earlier.
