The wider storm

A southeastward moving cold front sparked thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Good moisture return for March pushed dew points above 60 degrees with air temperatures in the mid 70s. A 1000-1500 J/kg MUCAPE gradient nosing in from the west with potent EBWD values of 50-60 knots supported severe thunderstorms with large hail up to golf ball size, sporadic wind damage, and urban flooding with training storms.

Began near Creswell (40.3700, -80.7843).
