The wider storm

A large scale upper trough was in place across the northeastern US. A disturbance in the southwest flow aloft led to early thunderstorm development across the region with most of the convection translating offshore by mid to late afternoon. This resulted in locally heavy rain and localized flash flooding across portions of southeast Virginia.

Began near Crestwood (36.7731, -76.2910).
