The wider storm
At the surface, a warm front swept northeastward in northwest Ohio and was quickly followed by an eastward cold front passage as an occluded low drifted east-northeastward from northwestern Illinois to southern Lake Michigan during the early afternoon through early evening of the 27th. A line of collapsing multicellular showers and thunderstorms accompanied the cold front and produced isolated straight-line convective wind damage in the McComb, Ohio area shortly after 4 PM EST. This multicelluar convection occurred in an environment with strong 0-1 km AGL bulk shear of about 50 knots, moderate effective bulk shear, and weak MUCAPE, which allowed precipitation to efficiently transport much stronger winds just aloft down to the surface and generate strong or damaging wind gusts in the process.
Began near Mc Comb (41.1290, -83.7800).
