The wider storm

Convection ignited along a weak surface boundary during the afternoon of August 4th in northern Ohio and northwestern PA. Westerly deep-layer shear was weak and storms were disorganized. However, MLCAPE increased to 1500-2000 J/kg and low-level lapse rates steepened with time; isolated cells became capable of producing isolated wind damage through the region.

Began near Congo (40.5900, -80.6000).
