A ridge over the Tennessee Valley contributed to an extremely hot and humid environment across southwest Virginia. There was anomalously high instability in the area as well. This instability combined with an approaching outflow boundary from a complex of thunderstorms to the north, helped trigger widespread showers and thunderstorms.
