| Episode Narrative | A well developed storm system and strong upper level trough pushed through the central sections of the country. A strong surface low developed and lifted into the Great Lakes region and drug a cold front through the south. Ahead of the front, warm and humid conditions moved in and clashed with the eastward moving upper trough. Scattered severe thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening with a squall line affecting the northern sections of the area. The south half saw a few supercell thunderstorms in advance of the developing line of storms. The storm system produced a mix of large hail, damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes as it moved across the region. |
| Event Narrative | Several trees were blown down across the the central portion of the county. |
