The wider storm
A strong cold front crossed the Mid-Atlantic during the early morning hours. A band of showers and a few thunderstorms developed along it. Although most of the region remained stable near the surface, a small area of the central Shenandoah Valley into the central Virginia piedmont remained just unstable enough to allow for a few severe downbursts, including one significant gust just south of the City of Staunton shortly after 4 AM EDT.
Began near Greenwood (38.0300, -78.8100).
