The wider storm

A cold front moved slowly southward through the Mid-Atlantic, triggering scattered thunderstorms with heavy rainfall rates and severe weather. While shear was not very high (<30 knots), the atmosphere was considerably unstable with SBCAPE values of at least 2000 J/kg. Low level lapse rates and mid-level lapse rates were up to 8.0 C/km and 6.5C/km, respectively, in southeast West Virginia. All these parameters, combined with DCAPE values of 900-1200 J/kg, resulted in severe thunderstorms that blew a few trees down in Greenbrier and Mercer Counties.

Began near Golden (38.0396, -80.3220).
