| Episode Narrative | Two distinct upper level storm systems passed through the area, one in the late morning, the second during the late afternoon and early evening. Each brought a round of active severe weather to the region. Enough time passed after the exit of the first for afternoon heating to play a factor just prior to the arrival of the second. The earlier storms were primarily hail, while the second round consisted of strong damaging winds. Precipitation was also quite heavy with radar estimated rainfall of 1 to 3 inches, although no flooding was reported. |
