Isolated, destructive severe thunderstorms formed during the heat of the late afternoon hours. The first storm produced very large hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter on its path from Union County to Madisonville. Another very intense storm during the early evening struck the Owensboro area with 2-inch hail and damaging winds of at least 70 mph. A third destructive storm moved eastward along the Tennessee border counties from Hickman and southern Graves Counties eastward during the early evening. The community of Wingo in Graves County received extensive damage from this storm. All of the severe storms formed in a strongly unstable atmosphere with strong wind shear ahead of a cold front moving across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. A mid-level westerly jet stream of 50 knots and veering winds with height resulted in 45 to 55 knots of deep layer wind shear. Supercells formed along and ahead of the cold front, producing very large hail and isolated destructive winds over 70 mph.
