A weak trough over the east coast, combined with a boundary in our vicinity, provided a focus for scattered shower and thunderstorm development. Instability was moderate, but winds aloft were weak, and thus most storms remained under severe limits, however a few strengthened enough to produce strong winds.

The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
A weak trough over the east coast, combined with a boundary in our vicinity, provided a focus for scattered shower and thunderstorm development. Instability was moderate, but winds aloft were weak, and thus most storms remained under severe limits, however a few strengthened enough to produce strong winds. These storms did produce brief heavy rainfall, with a few areas experiencing mainly minor flash flooding. A stronger cold front pushed through on the 8th bringing a pattern change to the region.
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 Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 5, 2:56 PM EST, 2 hours 7 minutes earlier.
