The wider storm

An outbreak of significant severe weather occurred during the afternoon and evening hours of Tuesday, July 12th, 2022. An unseasonably strong cold front interacted with a high instability airmass to result in several bowing lines of thunderstorms, which maintained their organization and intensity due to strong atmospheric wind shear. Swaths of widespread damaging winds were observed, much of which was considerable. A couple of tornadoes were also confirmed, along with some significant hail. A wind gust of over 100 MPH was measured in one of the most powerful storms over eastern West Virginia.

Began near Antioch (39.3023, -79.0352).
