An upper level trough east of the Mississippi River on the morning of April 26th deepened and closed off over the eastern Great Lakes by the morning of April 27th. A forced convective line was ongoing in the morning hours of April 26th over West Virginia and progressed eastward into Virginia during the afternoon hours. A few individual cells also formed ahead of this convective line. Modest instability developed during the late morning and early afternoon hours which helped to support showers and thunderstorms across the region, and this combined with moderate levels of wind shear led to strong to severe thunderstorms which produced locally damaging winds.
