| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A warm and very humid air mass was in place over the mid-Atlantic on July 17. A warm front which had sagged south into the region on the night of the 16th pushed back to the north on the morning of the 17th. Meanwhile, a cold front slowly approached by evening, with a pre-frontal surface trough ahead of it. The presence of multiple synoptic and mesoscale boundaries led to a highly complex convective evolution. Several areas and multiple rounds of convection affected the eastern mid-Atlantic over about a 12 hour period from early afternoon on the 17th to a little after midnight on the 18th. With shear falling in the weak to moderate range, convection mainly took the form of multi-cellular and linear clusters, though some semi-discrete supercellular structures were noted at times. A number of storms became severe with damaging wind. A weak tornado was confirmed in Burlington County, NJ in association with a line of thunderstorms in the later evening. Areas of heavy rain and flash flooding also occurred due to the widespread and at times slow moving nature of the convection. Eventually, by later in the night, the approach of the cold front and significant overturning of the atmosphere from the day's convection caused remaining activity to weaken and shift offshore. |
