What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm produced an estimated wind gust to 34 knots (39 MPH) near a mesonet at Crab Alley Bay adjacent to Eastern Bay.

The wider storm

A strong cold front, driven by an unusually strong upper-level trough and wind shear, interacted with a hot, humid, and unstable airmass over the Mid-Atlantic. This pattern resulted in the formation of lines of thunderstorms and several supercells. The most widespread and significant wind damage was noted over northern Maryland, although pockets of considerable wind damage were noted over portions of northwestern Virginia and eastern West Virginia. Somewhat atypical for the Mid-Atlantic is late summer was the number of large hail reports, with multiple instances of giant hail noted.

Began near Us-50 (md040) (38.9221, -76.2621).
