The wider storm

On May 10, a strong, negatively tilted upper level short wave trough moved Northeast across the area. Strong surface-based instability and mid-level jet support led to supercell development as the system interracted with a thermal trough that was positioned over the area.

Began near Butte (46.0000, -112.5300).
