Thunderstorm Wind — Fluvanna, Virginia

2023-06-26 · near Cunningham, Fluvanna, Virginia

Event narrative

Trees fell down onto three homes around Lake Monticello. Numerous trees were reported down as well as blocked roads due to the fallen trees.

Wider weather episode

An occluded low over Michigan and trough over the East Coast allowed for seasonably strong shear and relatively high mid level lapse rates to overspread the region. This resulted in scattered storms which produced damaging winds and large hail on June 26. Additionally, the cold front stalled in the mountains allowing for scattered storms to continue into the early morning hours of June 27.
