The wider storm

Low pressure both aloft and at the surface passed by to the west during the first. The warm front associated with the low moved through our region during this time. Plenty of air from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean ushered in copious amounts of moisture while the lift associated with the warm front was strong.

Showers and thunderstorms were able to mix down strong winds from aloft. Moderate instability also caused large hail in a few thunderstorms.

Began near Charlottesville (38.0480, -78.4658).
