Scattered thunderstorms produced isolated large hail up to the size of golf balls, along with isolated wind damage during the afternoon and evening. Between 3:30 and 7:30 PM, approximately 20 reports of hail dime-size or larger hail or wind damage were received. The vast majority of reports were large hail. Semi-discrete convection formed within a broad confluence zone. Surface temperatures exceeded 80 degrees, with surface dewpoints barely reaching 50. A dry boundary layer supported low-level lapse rates exceeding 9 C/km across much of the Ohio Valley. Up to 1000 J/kg of mixed-layer cape and 30-40 kts of effective bulk wind shear supported large hail with the strongest, longest lived updrafts. The dry boundary layer also supported efficient downward momentum transport of some of the stronger downdraft cores.
