The wider storm

The environment during the afternoon of April 17th was primed for the development of severe thunderstorms. Semi-discrete convection blossomed ahead of a cold front during the early afternoon, causing wind damage and large hail in portions of central and east-central Missouri. Later in the afternoon, thunderstorms more closely tied to the cold front produced 4 tornadoes in Missouri.

Began near Ethlyn (38.9000, -90.8700).
