The middle part of June was unusually stormy across the area. Numerous rounds of strong to severe storms impacted the region with multiple squall lines that produced severe winds as well as supercells that produced large hail and tornadoes.  Heavy rain also occurred over a multi-day period, which saturated the ground and led to some instances of flash flooding.
The synoptic pattern featured well above average 250 mb zonal wind anomalies, which were traceable back to an active subtropical jet stream.  Greater than average instability was also present, in part due to anomalously warm Gulf of Mexico SSTs.  This combination of above average shear from the active subtropical jet and above average instability from the warmer than average SSTs provided a synoptic environment favorable for severe weather as upper level shortwaves moving through the area.  This pattern persisted for many days, leading to an unusually large amount of severe weather.
