The wider storm

Ahead of an approaching cold front and aided by leading shortwave-induced ascent, a cluster of thunderstorms tracked across southeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania producing wind damage, several tornadoes, and a few instances of large hail. Moist southerly flow pulled upper 50s to low 60s dew points with surface temperatures in the mid 70s allowing for sufficient destabilization up to 1500 J/kg of MLCAPE, 35-40 knots of effective shear, and 50-150 m2/s2 of 0-1 km SRH to support an all hazards threat.

Began near Speidel (39.9848, -81.0798).
