Event narrative

A few trees were blown down in Haysville.

Wider weather episode

Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved across the lower Ohio Valley during the afternoon and evening hours on June 28th. The storms were associated with a very moist air mass interacting with a decaying front sinking into the region from the north, with individual upper-level shortwaves helping to initiate convection. The environment was strongly unstable, with around 4000 J/kg SBCAPE; however, weak deep-layer shear, poor mid-level lapse rates and an overall saturated column limited the overall severe potential. With that being said, isolated wind damage was observed with a stronger cell that moved across Dubois County during the late afternoon hours.
