What happened

The episode as NWS LIX wrote it up.

A weak frontal zone sagged into the local area on June 8th. Northwest flow aloft set up guided upstream convection toward the area. As storms developed, dry-air aloft along with adequate downdraft instability supported downburst potential. This produced a couple severe thunderstorms.
