Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeEarly June activity continued with yet another day of convective activity that included severe storms and heavy rainfall. A relatively stationary boundary was situated across the western and southern portions of the state, acting as a focus for convective activity throughout the morning and early afternoon as convection lingered from the previous day. While there was not much opportunity to recover thermodynamically due to cloud cover, MUCAPE values remained in excess of 1000 J/kg in areas of convection and up to 2000 to 3000 J/kg in areas just to the west or south of the convection. Supporting parameters suggested the opportunity for a few organized storms with effective shear in the 30 to 40 kt range and low level helicity in the 100 to 200 m2/s2 neighborhood. Another concern was the potential for training storms with the stationary boundary in place and expectations of low level jet aided initiation in the overnight hours.||In the end, a few severe storms were seen during the afternoon and evening hours, including hail approaching 2 inches in diameter, wind gusts to near 70 mph, and a vehicle heavily damaged from a lightning strike. Heavy rainfall was also experienced, though fortunately most locations were spared the heaviest totals, with most in the 2 to 3.5 inch range and a couple in excess of 4 inches.
