The wider storm

A deep trough over the Midwest and surface low near the Great Lakes brought a robust cold front into the Mid Atlantic region. A strongly-forced area of linear convection moved from west to east across portions of northeast North Carolina. These storms mostly produced strong to severe straight line wind gusts.

Began near Sunbury (36.4400, -76.6100).
