A late May pattern set up over the area on April 22nd which consisted of cold mid level temperatures, weak low level winds and decent mid level flow from the northwest. These ingredients came together and produced scattered thunderstorms across the region all producing a mix of large hail and damaging winds. A few also produced very heavy rainfall and flash flooding as they back built and remained over some areas for an extended period of time.
