The wider storm

A shortwave developed and was able to initiate ascent and allow storms access CAPE of over 2000 J/kg and modest bulk shear. This generated a handful of marginal supercells. Two of them became strong enough to generate severe reports of wind and hail.

Began near Wellsford (37.6200, -99.0300).
