The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A cluster of severe thunderstorms over West Virginia clipped Highland County in Virginia, resulting in localized wind damage around midday.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
909 AM EDT Tue Jun 14 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A weak front will linger around the Mid-Atlantic region through
Wednesday while high pressure builds to the northeast and
southwest. A stronger cold front will approach Thursday into
Friday. High pressure will build into the area over the
weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Complex "nowcast" type of situation through the morning hours
with multiple convective impulses in northwest flow aloft. MCS
originally moving toward western Maryland fell apart, but some
storms are redeveloping as the outflow encounters higher dew
points in the lee of the terrain.
There are a couple areas of concern. One is along the Bay into
the Baltimore metro area. A line of heavier showers and
thunderstorms developed on the outflow of the MCS and the
convergence along a weak backdoor boundary. Most of this
convection should be elevated and fast moving so the threat for
severe storms or flooding is low.
The other area of concern is along the Potomac Highlands into
the central Shenandoah Valley. Another boundary is located in
this area, and it can be seen via the CAPE gradient from the
mesoanalysis. Steep mid-level lapse rates associated with an EML
are along and southwest of the boundary. The orientation of the
convection is parallel to the mean flow, therefore a period of
training thunderstorms is possible this morning into midday
across these areas. A Flood Watch for potential flash flooding
has been issued for this area.
Elsewhere, the remnants of the MCS may trigger some showers and
perhaps even a thunderstorm through midday.
The MCS and its upper-level energy will move off to the
southeast later this afternoon. This should cause a diminishing
trend in convection along with increasing sunshine. However, a
shower or t-storm is still possible along the Potomac Highlands
into central Virginia, where the backdoor boundary will most
likely setup.
Extensive debris cloudiness (through midday) and a developing
northerly wind behind a weak front will keep temperatures in the
upper 70s and 80s today, perhaps touching 90 in the far south.
Tonight should be dry, warm, and muggy, although a few models
suggest another weak disturbance could produce a few showers or
storms over the Appalachians toward daybreak.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Upper ridging will likely keep conditions dry Wednesday into
Wednesday night with temperatures continuing into the upper 80s
to low 90s. Heat indices will again be nearing Heat Advisory
Criteria, especially in the central Shenandoah Valley where
criteria is 100, but confidence remains low in this potential.
The stalled front will keep the highest instability over the
mountains, but storms will be dependent on any sort of MCV or
other subtle trigger. There is some conditional risk for severe
weather due to moderate shear and high instability should such a
trigger (or existing cluster of storms) cross the area.
A trough will be crossing well to the north on Thursday, driving
a cold front to the southeast. The best forcing will remain to
the north, but there will be increasing thunderstorm chances as
the afternoon and evening wear on. Once again, shear and
instability will be sufficient for a severe weather risk,
especially northern/northwestern parts of the area. Temperatures
will remain above normal, and some areas west of the Blue Ridge
with 100 Heat Advisory criteria may come close to that value.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
While the first front may push to the southeast early Friday, a
second boundary may cross during the day with some risk of
showers and storms.
After the front clears, much drier weather with more mild
temperatures are expected over the weekend into early next week.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Thunderstorms near KMTN and KBWI should clear off within the
next hour. An isolated popup storm is possible late this morning
into early this afternoon elsewhere. Perhaps more widespread
convection may impact KCHO closer to a boundary. Some period of
MVFR ceilings are also possible but confidence is low.
The storm threat will be winding down this afternoon.
Patchy fog possible tonight and Wednesday night (along with low
clouds for the latter). Thunderstorm chances are low, but not
zero, for Wednesday into Wednesday night. Sub-VFR possible at
times in potential TSRA Thu-Fri as a cold front crosses. Winds S
becoming NW. High pressure/VFR for Saturday.
&&
.MARINE...
A few strong storms are expected over the Bay late this morning.
A backdoor boundary will settle to the southwest this afternoon
while subsidence increases behind an upper-level disturbance.
Therefore, thunderstorm chances should decrease this afternoon.
Northerly winds may come close to SCA criteria for a few hours,
but confidence is low. A few showers/thunderstorms are possible
Wednesday into Wednesday night, with marginal SCA conditions
possible in southerly channeling.
More showers and thunderstorms are possible with a cold front
Thursday into Friday. Storms could contain gusty winds, but
timing is still a bit uncertain. S flow becomes NW as the front
crosses and SCAs may be needed from Thursday through Saturday.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
While caution stages are possible this morning, a north wind
should lower anomalies later today. Southerly winds return late
Wednesday into Thursday, and sensitive locations could see minor
flooding at the astronomically favored high tides.
