Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA few severe thunderstorms occurred during the afternoon and evening hours. A powerful mid-level shortwave trough and its associated 70-80 knot jet streak translated from the southern high Plains into the upper Midwest. On the heels of this initial shortwave trough, a channeled vorticity maximum and attendant 70-knot jet streak progressed across the southern Plains into southwest Missouri. In association with these features, a 40 to 50 knot southerly low-level jet became established over the Mississippi Valley. Isolated severe thunderstorms occurred during the afternoon hours near a surface warm front lifting north across the Lower Ohio Valley. During the evening, widespread storms including isolated severe storms occurred ahead of a cold front surging eastward across the Ozark Mountains. The strong supply of warm and moist air fueled heavy rainfall and some local flash flooding southwest of a Paducah to Murray line overnight.
