The wider storm

A deep area of low pressure just off the Washington Coast sent a pair of shortwave disturbances into the Inland Northwest on June 23rd. The first wave tracked through northeastern Washington during the morning hours and a second arrived into southeastern Washington during the late afternoon. Each piece of mid-level energy encountered a very moist and unstable air mass in place resulting in scattered thunderstorms, some which reached severe limits. Large hail was the main threat with these storms.

Began near Clarkston Hgts (46.4200, -117.1100).
