What happened

The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.

An outbreak of significant severe weather occurred during the afternoon and evening hours of Tuesday, July 12th, 2022. An unseasonably strong cold front interacted with a high instability airmass to result in several bowing lines of thunderstorms, which maintained their organization and intensity due to strong atmospheric wind shear. Swaths of widespread damaging winds were observed, much of which was considerable. A couple of tornadoes were also confirmed, along with some significant hail. A wind gust of over 100 MPH was measured in one of the most powerful storms over eastern West Virginia.

What forecasters said that day

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 Jul 12, 9:49 AM EST, 3 hours 28 minutes earlier.
