A strong area of low pressure was located near Lake Superior. An upper trough of low pressure was approaching the region during the late morning hours. The upper trough of low pressure combined with warm and humid air at the surface to allow for showers and thunderstorms to develop by midday across northwestern Ohio. These showers and thunderstorms continued east through the afternoon hours. Many of the thunderstorms became severe across the area. By late in the afternoon, the severe thunderstorms progressed through northeast Ohio and into northwest Pennsylvania.
