Scattered severe convection developed across the region in a weak to moderately unstable environment.  An outflow boundary aided by a relatively strong west to northwesterly flow produced severe thunderstorms during the morning. A second episode of severe thunderstorms occurred during the evening as a strong thunderstorm complex moved southeast out of the Ohio Valley across the Southern Appalachians. The atmosphere supported both large hail and severe wind gusts.
