On the morning of the 21st, a cold front extended southwestward from southern ON to far-northwestern OH. This front drifted southeastward through the early evening, when it became located in vicinity of the major axis of Lake Erie, west-central OH, and east-central IN. The front then moved little through the wee hours of the 22nd. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms occurred along and ahead of the front during the afternoon through early evening. Some of these storms produced severe hail and damaging wind gusts. In particular, a supercell managed to produce hail as large as golf balls to two-inches in diameter in Geauga County. The ambient environment consisted of moderate to strong effective bulk shear, MUCAPE, and DCAPE, respectively.
