A loosely organized cluster of thunderstorms gradually increased due to surface heating in the vicinity of a weak low pressure center over southern Missouri. These storms occurred in a moderately unstable environment, with around 1500 j/kg of cape. An isolated damaging wind event occurred where a linear, outflow-dominant band evolved. Locally heavy rain under the largest storm cluster caused minor road flooding.
