The wider storm

A potent storm system crossed the region May 12th. Warm and moist air filtered in ahead of the system, bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain. Heavy rain began to overspread the region during the evening of the 11th and continued through the morning of the 12th. The pressure gradient with the low pressure system produced strong gusty winds across portions of northern and central Virginia during the late evening. With the ground already saturated dozens of trees and power lines fell across the region. Many roads remains closed into the afternoon of the 12th.

Began near Manassas (38.7878, -77.4360).
