Wider weather episode
A strong upper-level low tracked through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio River Valley early on February 28th. Nocturnal convection was mainly elevated before 5 AM, with a few hail reports noted. However, with a surge of warm air after 6 AM, there was just enough instability to create a few instances of wind damage. Based on sounding profiles from PIT and ILN (06Z and 12Z profiles), shear was strong within the low-levels, ranging from 50kts to 60kts.
