Event narrative

The Jasper County Emergency Manager reported 10 trees down just west of Monticello.

Wider weather episode

A strong upper low was in place across the Great Lakes, allowing continued intermittent upper level disturbances to rotate around and affect the Southeast. A complicated surface pattern in place with multiple boundaries left over from previous days' convection as well as a weak nearly stationary front, combined with ample moisture and high levels of instability provided plenty of focus for thunderstorm development. Numerous storms did indeed develop, and many of these became severe with mainly damaging winds reported.
