The wider storm

A frontal boundary was stalled across the mid-Atlantic, and interacted with the moist and unstable airmass already in place. Scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon due to the heating of the surface of the Earth. A few of these thunderstorms reached severe limits. In addition, some flooding conditions also occurred due to the heavy rainfall associated with the thunderstorms.

Began near Charlottesville (38.0333, -78.5000).
