Wider weather episode

A north/south oriented trough axis extended from the Great Lakes to the Florida Panhandle and a ridge was centered over the Desert Southwest encompasses the rest of the country. That put the CWA right between both features. The frontal boundary associated with the trough stalled along the northern Gulf Coast. That front was the initial focal point for convection to begin developing early in the afternoon. That activity was been able to capitalize on very high instability. Quite robust thunderstorms produced several damaging wind events.
