Wider weather episode

A Mesoscale Convective Vortex moved across the area during the morning and early afternoon. Enhanced vertical wind shear with this system combined with a moist and unstable atmosphere led to the development of thunderstorms with embedded mesocyclones, some of which produced tornadoes.
