An upper level disturbance moved over the region, and the atmosphere was very unstable with a lot of moisture.  There was an outflow/frontal boundary across the area which provided a focus for thunderstorms.  An upper level jet was near the area which enhanced lift.  Winds were changing direction and increasing with height which allowed for more rotation in the air.  This allowed storms to become severe and increased the potential for tornadoes to develop.
