Thunderstorm Wind — Carroll, Virginia

2023-05-16 · near Hebron, Carroll, Virginia

Event narrative

Thunderstorm winds blew down a few 15 inch diameter trees near the intersection of Meadowlark Road and Declaration Lane.

Wider weather episode

A region of low pressure pushed a strong cold front eastward and lifted a warm front northward through the Mid Atlantic during May 16. More than sufficient instability and shear in the Virginia Southside resulted in a few rounds of discrete thunderstorms that organized into a quasi-linear structure, which resulted in areas of thunderstorm wind damage and hail.
