A moist air mass combined with afternoon heating and good deep shear to develop strong to severe storms during the night of the 18th. This resulted in a brief tornado touch down in Simpson county that caused no damage. During the overnight hours from the 19th to 20th, a strong upper disturbance combined with afternoon heating, moist airmass, cold front and deep shear to cause more strong to severe storms. Some of these storms produced large hail along with wind damage in the form of blown down trees and power lines. Wind damage also occurred on the 19th outside of the thunderstorms due to a heat burst. This heat burst raised the temperature by a few degrees as decaying showers moved over the area, causing wind gusts and some wind damage.
