Environment
A surface cold front and attendant 500-mb trough moved through on the afternoon and evening of June 18th. Despite scattered non-severe storms after daybreak, the atmosphere recovered instability ahead of the cold front in the afternoon. By 3 PM ET, surface based CAPE was 2000-4000 J/kg from south to north across the area. The best shear of 40-50 kts lagged behind the main line of storms closer to the cold front. Dewpoints were in the upper 60s to mid 70s due to low level and mid level southwesterly winds bringing in moisture from the Gulf.
