The wider storm

As an upper-level trough moved eastward past the Rockies, a favorable environment was in place for severe weather. However, the majority of the moisture, instability and surface convergence occurred south and east of the CWA. Some storms were able to initiate in Barber county and generate severe hail before exiting the forecast area.

Began near Sharon (37.2500, -98.4200).
