A stalled frontal boundary was draped in the area of southern New Jersey and Delmarva on July 30. Meanwhile, another cold front was approaching the region from the northwest. A warm and very humid air mass developed ahead of this second front, leading to the development of moderate to strong instability over much of the mid-Atlantic. The approach of the front also gradually increased wind shear values, though greater shear remained further north over New York and New England. Nonetheless, frontal forcing in the unstable air mass was sufficient to trigger scattered thunderstorms, some of which became strong to severe and produced a number of reports of damaging winds.
