Wider weather episode

A moist and unstable air mass sat over the Ohio River Valley. CAPE values exceeded 3000 J/kg, but shear was weak. This provided an environment for pulse type thunderstorms. As the heat of the day began to build, it became enough to kickoff area thunderstorms. Thunderstorms across southern Indiana caused several trees to fall, along with severe hail and heavy rainfall.
