The subtropical ridge was to our south while the subtropical jet remained just to our north. An upper-level disturbance in the jet stream passed through on the 22nd. Warm and humid air was in place due to a west-southwest flow around the ridge. Moderate amounts of instability along with the upper-level disturbance caused showers and thunderstorms to develop. Some thunderstorms became severe with damaging winds and large hail.
