Read the full account →A mid level disturbance embedded within southwest flow aloft created an environment of increased buoyancy. Ample instability was already in place across the region due to typical early summer heat and increased low level moisture.
Read the full account →Showers and thunderstorms moved across the region during the morning hours of June 18th as well as the afternoon and evening hours. These storms trained across the same general area and produced copious amounts of rainfall, some of which produced flash flooding.
