The wider storm

Ahead of a surface trough, 1000 to 2000 J/kg of surface-based CAPE was able to develop during the afternoon of May 2nd, combined with 30 knots of 0-6km shear. This combination supported the development of mainly discrete storms over eastern Ohio, which generated a good number of hail reports in the 1 to 2.5 inch range.

Began near Fairpoint (40.1200, -80.9300).
