Widely scattered severe thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening of July 6th when weak upper level disturbances passed across the Mid-Atlantic region, supported by strong surface heating. Deep southerly moisture helped push precipitable water values into the 1.5 to 1.8 inch range, while surface-based CAPE values rose into the 1000-2500 J/Kg range by late afternoon.  Convection initiated in the form of disorganized pulse-variety cells, but became modestly organized at maximum intensity before waning toward sunset with the loss of daytime heating.
