The wider storm

A weak frontal boundary slid south to around the Ohio River Valley by mid-day. As diabatic heating increased and CAPE values reached into the 1500-2000 J/KG range, scattered showers and storms fired through the afternoon and evening. A shortwave rotated into the Great Lakes Region. Deep layer shear was weak and pulse storms with gusty winds caused wind damage. Slow storm motion and boundary collisions allowed for some locally heavy rainfall which caused some flooding issues.

Began near Paris (38.2097, -84.2471).
