A severe weather outbreak impacted much of the East Coast, causing widespread straight line wind damage and a few tornadoes. An approaching frontal system with strong wind fields moving into an unusually moist April air mass contributed to the formation of a well organized line of severe convection. This line moved through the mid-Atlantic during the predawn hours of April 15. A number of thunderstorm related damage reports were received.
