The wider storm

A front was located north of the region and gradually moved south in response to an approaching mid level disturbance. To the south of the front, robust heating of a moist low level airmass resulted in increasing instability by the afternoon and evening hours. Strong convection resulted in areas of strong winds and waterspouts during the late afternoon and evening.

Began near Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel 3rd Island (37.0264, -76.0871).
