Event narrative

Hundreds of trees blew down around Pikesville, Garrison, Chestnut Ridge, and Brooklandville blocking numerous roads. Many trees fell onto houses and cars.

A subtle remnant disturbance from prior day's convection over the Midwest amplified a pre-existing lee pressure trough, igniting numerous thunderstorms. Given the excessive hot, humid, and unstable environment, these thunderstorms were able to organize into clusters and lines despite a lack of stronger wind shear.
