episode_narrativeSummary of events for April 27 2001:A cold front moving into a moist (dewpoints in the mid 50s) and unstable airmass across eastern Washington touched off severe thunderstorms across the Palouse region of far eastern Washington on the afternoon of April 27. The strongest thunderstorm of the day developed just west of Pullman, moving quickly north-northeast and dropping severe hail from there all the way to the northeast corner of Whitman County. One other notable thunderstorm (non-severe) developed over southwest Whitman County. This storm eventually moved north into Spokane County with an unusual display of frequent lightning and many lightning-related power outages. Downtown Spokane received one-half inch of rain in just 15 minutes with this storm.
