The wider storm

The risk for severe storms continued May 29th as necessary ingredients stayed in place. An unstable/ buoyant atmosphere, wind shear to sustain updrafts, and large scale

ascension with a crossing shortwave were all present. With a stalled boundary, and precipitable water values pushing up to 2 inches, flash flooding was also a concern throughout the entire day.

Began near Eidenau (40.8179, -80.1155).
