Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 393 was in effect during this event.
A very warm and humid environment led to Mean Layer CAPE values greater than 4000 Joules/Kilogram across the watch area. Isolated thunderstorms developed along a surface trough axis, and became severe as a mid level short wave provided modest forcing for ascent and an increase in bulk wind shear.  Most of the severe weather reports were associated with one long lasting severe thunderstorm.
