Wider weather episode

At the beginning of a day, a low was centered over the Great Lakes region with an associated cold front extending back through the midwest. An upper level disturbance ahead of the low would trigger pulse convection in the mountains during the afternoon, but become more organized going eastward as the front advanced east. High moisture levels and warm temperatures contributed to the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms.
