The wider storm

A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) traversed the region during the morning hours of August 13th. Behind the MCV, subsidence moved overhead, thus limiting the extent and severity of convection. However, warm and moist low levels still led to some instability, and as a cold front approached the region in the evening, some showers and thunderstorms developed, and a couple become locally severe.

Began near Manassas (38.7800, -77.4700).
