The episode as NWS AKQ wrote it up.
Isolated severe thunderstorm in advance of a cold front produced damaging winds across portions of the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore.
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 Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 18, 2:53 PM EST, 2 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wakefield VA 353 PM EDT MON JUL 18 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A weakening cold front approaches the region from the northwest tonight, dropping across the area Tuesday afternoon and night. Weak high pressure rebuilds across the region...bringing increasing temperatures and drier weather for the latter half of the week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... As of 19z a band of showers and thunderstorms was moving east across the mountains of western Virginia and has been steadily moving towards the mid Atlantic since this morning. The coverage within the line had decreased some with the convection holding together best as the line entered northern Virginia. MLCAPE across central VA and MD was around 2000-2500 J/KG. Not much shear was evident in the wind profiles with only some limited shear over MD. Expect storms to be primarily outflow driven this afternoon with some upper support from a weak upper shortwave. This should help the line fill in as it moves into central VA. With some weak upper support expect the showers and storms to make their way all the way to the coast later this evening and early tonight. DCAPE is around 1000-1200 j/kg so some strong gusty winds are possible with the stronger storms. The better threat of severe storms is across MD, however, a few strong storms are possible across central VA this evening. most high res models suggest the precip will be over northeast NC and off the coast shortly after midnight. Any lingering showers should diminish through the overnight with the exception of a few showers hanging on along the NC coast and just off the southeast VA coast. Look for a muggy night with early morning lows in the low to mid 70s with upper 70s near the coast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/... Forecast chances for showers and storms Tuesday will be tricky. Subsidence behind the system coming through this evening and tonight should result in a period of very little shower activity during the Tuesday morning hours through late morning. That could change early Tuesday afternoon as continued northwest flow aloft and the exiting trough to the north drive a weakening frontal boundary into the area Tuesday. The front will move across the region Tuesday afternoon and evening. Models also show a sharper upper shortwave moving through mid afternoon. This should serve as the focus for another round of showers and storms Tuesday afternoon. Models are not in complete agreement, but vast majority of guidance favors a band of pre- frontal convection especially across the southern half of the area to the SE coastal plain. Bulk shear increases Tuesday into the 20-30kt range, with instability and forcing for ascent. Have maintained likely PoPs across the southern tier of the area Tuesday, with chance pops farther north. Some guidance has trended back on POPS Highs Tuesday, but will give things another run before backing off on POPS too much. slightly cooler given increased cloudiness. Highs upper 80s to lower 90s. Early morning lows Wed morning again averaging 70-75. Trough axis pushes offshore late Tuesday night and Wednesday as a strong upper level ridge builds over the nation's mid section. Expect drying on Wednesday as the best moisture pushes south of the region and surface high pressure weakens to the north. Highs Wednesday generally in the mid to upper 80's. Northwest flow becomes northerly Thursday as the upper level high centers over the central Plains. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... Long term period will feature mainly dry conditions and above normal temps. For Thursday night/Friday, dry wx expected as surface high pressure slides just offshore and a broad upper- level ridge slides east into the eastern Conus. Temps max out in the lo-mid 90s. For the weekend, a thermal trough will hold in place over the Mid Atlc with weak w/nw flow aloft. Expect hi temps in the mid/upr 90s both days, and with dewpoints in the lo/mid 70s, afternoon heat indices will be near 105f (heat advsry criteria). 10-20% chances for rain Sat increase to 20-30% Sun. Continued hot into Mon (highs up to the mid 90s) with a 30% chance for rain as stronger mid- level energy approaches the region. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Mainly VFR conditions forecast during the 18Z TAF period. A line of showers and thunderstorms may affect mainly northern portions of the area this evening aft 00z. Included TEMPO thunderstorms at RIC and SBY. Also included MVFR fog at the same locations as indicated by LAVMOS. Conditions Tuesday morning should be quiet. OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are expected late Tuesday and Tuesday night and far southern portions Wednesday. Otherwise mainly dry conditions are expected for the latter half of the week. && .MARINE... Latest sfc analysis shows hi pressure off the se coast with a trough of low pressure across the Mid Atlc. Expect s winds thru this eveng avgg ~15 kt over the Bay/Ocean with 1-2 ft waves over the Bay and 2-3 ft seas over the Ocean, possibly up to 4 ft over northern areas. A weak cold front weakens as it approaches from the nw tonight into early Tue, allowing winds to shift to the nw by late Tue. Winds will diminish to under 10 kt behind the frnt. Lack of cold air advection and weak gradient winds will keep winds sub-SCA. For Wed/Thu...winds avg aob 10 kt with weak sfc hi pressure in the vicinity. Waves remain 1-2 ft with seas 2-3 ft. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. NC...None. VA...None.
