The wider storm
Northern Ohio resided in the warm sector as a surface trough axis moved generally eastward through the region during the afternoon and early evening of the 14th. Low-level convergence and ascent along the trough axis acted as a focus for the development of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. This convection occurred in an environment comprised of weak to moderate MUCAPE and DCAPE, respectively, and weak effective bulk shear. Several single cell thunderstorms managed to produce small to marginally-severe hail and/or damaging wind gusts. Slow moving thunderstorms caused isolated flash flooding, with rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches in one hour.
Began near Medina (41.1701, -81.8479).
