Wider weather episode

At the surface, an occluded low drifted northeastward across far-northwestern ON and Hudson Bay during the late afternoon of August 30th through the first couple predawn hours of the 31st. Simultaneously, the attendant warm front drifted eastward across the OH/PA border region and toward central portions of NY and PA, while the trailing cold front moved eastward from the southwestern Great Lakes and Lower MO Valley to north-central OH and the Lower to Mid OH Valley. Within the warm and moist sector between these two fronts, isolated to scattered multicell thunderstorms developed in northern OH and produced isolated straight-line convective wind damage amidst weak to moderate MUCAPE, moderate to strong DCAPE, and moderate effective bulk shear during the late afternoon through late evening.
