The wider storm

A cold front moved through the area during the afternoon and evening on the 19th into a high shear environment. Unseasonable warmth with highs in the 70s combined with modest amounts of instability led to the development of a line of showers and thunderstorms ahead of the boundary. A few storms embedded in the line became severe producing isolated wind damage.

Began near Mayfield (41.5208, -75.5499).
