The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A cold front stalled out over the region on the 3rd. Warm and humid air ahead of the front combined with the forcing from the front to trigger showers and thunderstorms. There was enough instability along with stronger winds aloft for some thunderstorms to produce damaging wind and large hail.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 3, 2:13 PM EST, 13 minutes earlier.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO PENNSYLVANIA THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE STALLING NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPLY A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY EVENING WITH COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS BEHIND THE FRONT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

PRIMARY W-E ORIENTED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE AREA IN UPSTATE NY/CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND. THE ZONAL FLOW WILL PREVENT THESE SYSTEMS FROM PROGRESSING SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE AREA. ANY LINGERING CONVECTION FRI AFTN WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY FRI EVE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND NO DISTINGUISHABLE LIFTING MECHANISM TO KEEP CONVECTION GOING.

PATCHY FOG ALSO POSSIBLE BY THE ERY MRNG SAT IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAINFALL ON FRI. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES WILL ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW CENTERED AROUND NRN QUEBEC. THESE DISTURBANCES WILL TRACK WELL NORTH OF THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...BUT WILL HELP DIG THE BASE OF THE TROUGH SOUTHWARD WHILE ENHANCING NW FLOW IN WAKE OF EACH DISTURBANCE.

THIS PERIOD WILL BE CATEGORIZED BY GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH SUBVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF TSTMS AND ALSO DURING THE ERY MRNG HRS WITH LOCAL RADIATIONAL FOG. ISO STORMS MAY BE STRONG AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL/GUSTY WINDS ESPECIALLY ON SAT AND SUN.

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING NORTH OF THE AREA FRI AND SAT WILL RESULT IN AFTN/EVE CHANCES FOR TSTMS AS THE REGION IS LOCATED IN THE WARM MOIST SECTOR. SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR THE STRONGEST STORMS. THE FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH THRU THE AREA SUN WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STRONG TSTMS.
