An area of thunderstorms formed in a weakly sheared environment. The CAPE was around 1000 J/kg, with shear around 25 kts. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was 400 J/kg. The storms produced very heavy rain and some hail as they moved through. A rainfall total of 3.57 inches was reported west of Chariton, in Lucas County, much of which fell in an hour.
