The wider storm

Destabilization occurred west of the Blue Ridge with MLCAPE 1500-2000 J/Kg forming by the afternoon hours. Backing of winds also led to increased shear profiles, which combined with the increased instability produced isolated thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front and a line of showers and thunderstorms right along the line.

Began near Falls Church (38.8876, -77.1739).
