So were right under the minuscule wall cloud at the farthest south edge of the severe warned squall line in Broadway, VA when this little vortex spun up.

This thing spun up right in front of us and looked like it had easily 60mph winds in it, hit the car which shook us almost into the other lane, and threw dirt and rocks into my teeth.

Not tornadic but one of the weirdest things of my storm chasing career… (don’t mind me screaming WHAT IS THAT in the very beginning)

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

The first of a couple of days of severe weather across the Appalachians and the Mid Atlantic begins Thursday, June 11

THURSDAY: A hot, unstable air mass will be in place tomorrow across the Mid Atlantic and I81/I95 corridors, stretching from Virginia to New York - where thunderstorms are expected to develop and become increasingly scattered throughout the day.

Main risks on Thursday will be hail, damaging winds in excess of 50mph and an isolated supercell. Timing looks to be between 1-10pm.

FRIDAY: On Friday, severe thunderstorms will be possible across much of the same area as Thursday, with the possibility of a “ridge-rider” setup becoming increasingly likely.

This is due to a heat dome being place to our south - where the Mid Atlantic states are positioned in the line of fire for quick, rapidly strengthening thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening hours.

Heavy rain, strong winds in excess of 60mph, and large hail appear to be the main risks.

Thunderstorms could initiate and be severe within 20-30 minutes, and could be on top of you fast as they may travel up to 50+mph.

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across much of Virginia today, capable of winds in excess of 60mph and hail up to the size of quarters. Storms will be isolated in nature, unless daytime heating can occur allowing a more widespread setup.

Should this occur, multiple clusters of organized thunderstorms will develop across eastern West Virginia and spread to the Shenandoah Valley and Virginia. Storms may also fire across the Appalachians today, as terrain driven lift could be a factor today.

Timing will be between 2-8pm, where heavy downpours and storms could develop at anytime.
Stay weather aware and try not to get caught out in it today!

Nice cell with some needed rain over Harrisonburg, VA
Storms have really struggled, as expected, to form. If anybody does get a shower or storm, you'll get some provided relief from today's heat.

High upwards of 90 tomorrow, with a better setup in place for thunderstorms - a few that could be severe. Hail and the isolated damaging wind gusts will be the risk, with some more beneficial rain as well.

Lightning lit up the skies this evening over Rockingham County, VA as a strong thunderstorm pushed through the area.

Multiple bolts, some cloud to cloud and some cloud to ground - made for exceptional scenes as night fell.
