Event narrative

Multiple trees were reported down all along Hill street and County Road 55 in Coshocton county. Small hail was also observed.

Wider weather episode

A slow-moving upper low over northern Lake Michigan shifted east while the the approach of a pre-frontal trough and destabilization resulted in convective development along and ahead of a cold frontal boundary. Colder and drier mid-levels allowed for MLCAPE values near 1000-2000 J/kg and mid-level lapse rates of 6-6.5 C/km. Effective shear was marginal, with values between 20 and 30 kts.
