Event narrative
Wind gusts of up to 39 knots (45 MPH) were measured by a mesonet on the eastbound span of the US-40 Hatem Bridge (MD072).

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.
