Wider weather episode
A deep upper level trough was over the eastern third of the US. Its axis approached through the day. Strong to severe storms developed well west of the area and eventually formed a broken line as they approached. While shear was minimal, a well-developed cold pool allowed for continued propagation with support for strong updrafts. The broken line caused damaging wind gusts over portions of the waters as it moved through.
