The following events were reported: Thunderstorm Wind, Tornado. These occurred near station USW00093721, approximately 23.2324 km away, between 2019-05-23 14:11:00 and 2019-05-23 15:10:00.The events resulted in 1 injuries and 0 fatalities. No significant property or crop damage was reported. Episode Narrative: A warm front crossed the region during the morning hours of May 23rd, placing the area in the warm sector by the afternoon hours. At the same time, surface low pressure tracked across the northern Great Lakes, with an attendant cold front moving into the Ohio Valley by the evening. A mesoscale convective system (MCS) was ongoing during the morning hours and moved eastward and into the region during the afternoon hours. Out ahead of the MCS, moisture and warmth increased with moderate instability developing. Aloft, wind shear increased throughout the day and became quite substantial by the late afternoon. The MCS entered Maryland by the mid afternoon hours and intensified into a linear feature that produced damaging winds and one tornado before exiting during the evening. A warm front crossed the region during the morning hours of May 23rd, placing the area in the warm sector by the afternoon hours. Event Narrative: Two large 20 inch in diameter trees were snapped. Multiple trees were blown down. Multiple large trees were blown down. Multiple large trees and branches were blown down. Multiple trees and wires were blown down throughout Anne Arundel County. A wind gust of 58 mph (50 knots) was measured near Clarksville. A line of showers and thunderstorms crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains around 2:30 PM EDT (1:30 PM EST) 23 May 2019, then tapped into strong thermodynamics and wind shear, creating a Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS) that increased in intensity as it tracked southeast across central and southern Maryland, Washington DC, and northern Virginia. The QLCS spawned an EF1 tornado in Howard County MD between 3:27 PM EDT (2:27 PM EST) and 3:36 PM EDT (2:36 EST), with a discontinuous damage path of 5.5 miles, moving east-southeast at an estimated 40 mph. ||The first evidence of tornadic damage was near the intersection of Brighton Dam Road and MD Route 108 in Clarksville. Several trees were uprooted in this vicinity with large branches pulled towards each other, and fell in multiple directions, except westerly.||As the tornado moved east, more convergent tree damage extended on either side of Cedar Lane around Corina Court in Columbia. One eyewitness in this location who was interviewed saw the tornado knocking down trees, resulting in swirling debris. Most trees in this location were uprooted, but a few were snapped. Trees here were both softwood and hardwood. One tree fell into the roof of a house. Another resident in this area reported getting the wireless emergency alert on their phone, followed moments later by strong winds, which knocked down large trees.||Tree damage was also noted along Shaker Drive between Seneca Farm Road and Wayover Way, where numerous large trees were uprooted, with a couple of trees |snapped, falling to the north.||The most significant damage noted was near the 9400 block of Patuxent Woods Drive, where a grove of hardwood and softwood trees were snapped about midway up their trunks, falling haphazardly. A nearby office building lost part of its roof, which blew towards the east. Trees were down further to the east, but it is likely that this was due to straight-line winds as radar analysis showed the tornado vortex broadening rapidly. A large tree was uprooted, one tree was snapped, and another large branch was snapped on private property. Multiple trees and wires were blown down. Multiple reports of trees and utility poles blown down.
