A strong low pressure system crossing through the state inflicted multiple rounds of severe weather across southeast Ohio. Starting on the 7th, a warm front draped across the Ohio Valley was the primary focus for convection to develop that evening. These storms produced large hail across portions of Ohio. A brief lull in storms during the day of the 8th primed the atmosphere once more for severe thunderstorms to arise ahead of a cold front which passed through late that night. During which time, another round of thunderstorm wind damage and hail occurred in the state late that evening and into the early morning hours of the 9th. An EF1 tornado briefly touched down in Wilkesville shortly after midnight on the 9th, inflicting damage to several mobile homes.
