Event narrative

A tree was downed across State Route 260, near the Noble County line.

Wider weather episode

A strong, occluding surface low crossed the Great Lakes on November 27th. After morning rain, instability in the form of around 500 J/kg of mean-layer CAPE was able to develop in the Middle Ohio Valley and advect northeast into northern West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania. A strongly sheared environment was also present. Strong low-level flow helped to support a damaging-wind threat, while cold temperatures aloft and favorable deep-layer shear also supported large hail, which is unusual for late November. Most of the activity was east of Ohio, with only a couple incidents of wind damage noted.
