EF0 tornado in Fauquier County, Virginia

An NWS storm survey team concluded a tornado caused a 12 mile-long concentrated path of tree damage. Evidence of initial tornado damage was found in northern Fauquier County about 2 miles northeast of Rectortown along Route 715, Old Carters Mill Road just west of Atoika Road. From this point eastward, a fairly consistent path of damage was found, which included numerous uprooted and snapped off large trees. The tornado narrowly missed the town of Middleburg, passing just south of the town along Sullivans Mill Road. The tornado was at its widest point at Sullivans Mill Road and Route 626, Halfway Road, where numerous trees were damaged. The tornado then crossed into south central Loudoun County. As the tornado approached the town of Aldie, the damage path narrowed and became more scattered in coverage. There was still a good deal of damage along US Route 50 in Aldie. After passing east of Aldie near Tail Race Road, Route 621, near its intersection with US Route 50, the tornado damage path disappeared.

A stalled front resided across the Mid Atlantic during the afternoon and evening of June 4th, allowing moisture and instability to pool along the boundary. This combined with several strong upper level disturbances resulted in numerous thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Many of these thunderstorms became severe. While penny sized was reported in spots, damaging winds from the thunderstorms was widespread. EF-1 tornadoes were confirmed near Stevensville in Culpeper County, in Millwood in Clarke County and near Hartwood in Stafford County.
