Wider weather episode

Strong storms that produced damaging winds developed the evening of June 22, 2022.

Dry conditions under ridging hours ahead of the showers and storms helped prime the environment. Mean level CAPE before convective was between 3000-3500J/kg, and steep lapse rates near the surface (7.5 to 8.0C/km) help with strong damaging updrafts.
