The wider storm

An upper level trough slowly approached the area as a stalled frontal boundary sat just to our west. With an environment with about 1500 J/kg of MLCAPE and 30 kt of Effective Bulk Shear, thunderstorms that developed were able to become severe and produce damaging wind gusts and large hail.

Began near Williams Bridge (40.8800, -73.8700).
