Wider weather episode

A front was located north of the region and gradually moved south in response to an approaching mid level disturbance. To the south of the front, robust heating of a moist low level airmass resulted in increasing instability by the afternoon and evening hours. Strong convection resulted in areas of strong winds and waterspouts during the late afternoon and evening.
