Wider weather episode
Strong to severe discrete thunderstorms were initiated along a slow moving frontal boundary in an area with about 1000 J/kg of SBCAPE. They were able to become somewhat organized given the 40 kt of effective bulk shear that was available due to a belt of southwesterly flow aloft. The storms produced damaging wind gusts.
