Very steep lapse rates were in place atop rich boundary layer moisture with 500 mb temperatures from -11C to -14C.  This supported strong instability with afternoon SBCAPE values exceeding 3000 J/Kg.  Winds aloft were weak, so storms were mainly pulse in nature with brief-lived intense cores.  The strongest of these pulsating storms produced large hail and damaging winds.  Storms became semi-organized along a common outflow late in the day and shifted southward.
