A warm front crossed central and northern Virginia from south to north during the morning hours of April 14th, allowing for increasing warm and moist air to move overhead. During the afternoon and evening, low pressure moved through the Ohio Valley and into the eastern Great Lakes, leading to an increase in the wind field across all levels and therefore an increase in deep layer shear. Instability remained somewhat limited, but was enough to produce showers and scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours, some of which became severe. A second round of showers and thunderstorms then moved across central and northern Virginia as a strong cold front crossed the region during the late evening and overnight hours. These thunderstorms took the form of a quasi-linear convective system which became severe and produced locally damaging winds.
