The wider storm

A strong cold front approached the mid-Atlantic coast on April 21. Ahead of the front, modest instability developed in a strongly sheared and strongly forced environment. This led to the development of convection along and ahead of the front as it moved through during the mid afternoon hours. Mixed modes of linear and discrete storm cells were present, some of which became strong to severe. Scattered instances of hail and wind damage were reported across much of the eastern mid-Atlantic.

Began near Oceanville (39.4602, -74.5075).
