The wider storm

A strong upper level disturbance combined with weak instability to drive a squall line across portions of Southwest Virginia. Very strong winds aloft were able to mix down to the surface leading to many reports of downed trees. This line weakened as it approached the mountains, with no severe reports east of the mountains.

Began near Radford (37.1200, -80.5700).
