Event narrative

Strong thunderstorm winds knocked down trees and snapped a pole.

Wider weather episode

A frontal boundary slowly pushed southward over the region into a very warm, moist and unstable atmosphere. This boundary helped to initiate scattered thunderstorms early in the day, then storms became more numerous to the south where there was more instability and colliding outflow boundaries. Some storms became severe with damaging wind gusts, and in a couple cases, large hail.
