On the afternoon of the 25th, the tail end of a cold front dropped down from the north and crossed through southeast Ohio. The timing of the frontal passage occurred near peak heating for that day, which helped spark strong thunderstorms with gusty winds across the area. The bulk of the wind damage ended up being numerous trees blown down across several towns in the state. The trailing edge of the upper level system once again aligned with afternoon heating on the 26th, amounting to a few additional severe thunderstorms in Morgan and Washington Counties.
