Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms occurred across the area.  This was an unusual, well organized severe weather event given the time of year.  The threat for some type of severe weather during the July 21-22 period was well advertised by the models a few days in advance, although the exact times of day that would be affected varied from run to run.  A special 18z KTAE sounding from July 22 revealed SBCAPE around 4500 j/kg with 0-6 km shear of 34 knots, which is unusually high for summer.
