A return flow around high pressure pumped in plenty of warm and moist air over the region. Colder air aloft associated with an upper-level trough combined with the warm and moist air at the surface to develop moderate amounts of instability. A surface trough acted as the lifting mechanism for showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms were able to produce large hail and damaging wind gusts.
