The wider storm

A potent cold front passed through the area on the 25th. Southerly winds ahead of the boundary ushered in unusually warm and humid conditions for this time of year which led to some instability. Showers and thunderstorms developed, and this convection was able to pull down strong winds from aloft and also produce hail.

Began near Madisonville (38.0524, -78.4878).
