Wider weather episode

Hurricane Erin dominated the upper-level pattern and steered the remnants of an MCS directly towards the Mid-South. Shower and thunderstorm coverage was much higher than in previous days as storms tapped into moderate to high instability. Storms were able to quickly grow upscale and produce damaging winds and some sub-severe hail. Several outflow boundaries were produced from convective coverage with measured 40-50 mph winds associated with the boundaries. These winds were enough to produce sporadic damage in addition to stronger winds from severe thunderstorms.
