Clusters and short lines of thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours. A few of these were accompanied by damaging winds and large hail. A second round of storms occurred during the evening hours. A couple of supercells developed over southeast Missouri and produced large hail up to ping pong ball size, along with damaging winds approaching 70 mph. Both rounds of storms developed south of a surface low that gradually deepened as it tracked east along the Interstate 70 corridor from Missouri into Illinois. Thunderstorm development was enhanced by large-scale ascent pivoting from the Ozark Plateau into the lower Ohio Valley, ahead of a low amplitude mid-level trough. Daytime heating helped to increase instability, with mixed layer capes approaching 2000 J/kg. Vertical wind shear increased as 40 to 50-knot westerly winds gradually propagated eastward from the south central Plains.
