A few trees and power lines were blown down northeast of Statenville. The time of damage was based on radar.

Wider weather episode

Dynamical forcing and high moisture content (precipitable water values over 2 inches across the region) enabled scattered storms to form across the forecast area during the late afternoon and evening when surface based instability was high.
