What the National Weather Service wrote

A couple dozen trees and wires blew down across the City of Winchester.

The wider storm

A strongly unstable airmass in a moderately sheared environment squeezed between two fronts resulted in several clusters of destructive thunderstorms. The most intense thunderstorms propagated north to south along a stalled front dividing very unstable air near and west of Interstate 95, from notably more stable air closer to the Chesapeake Bay.

The event was unusual not only because of the intensity of the thunderstorms, but because they moved in a north to south direction, even propagating south-southwestward at times.

Began near Winchester (39.1745, -78.1750).
