| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong, negatively tilted upper low pressure area was moving from the central U.S. toward the northeast U.S. An associated strong cold front extended down the spine of the Appalachians early in the morning. An unseasonably warm air mass resided across the region in advance of this weather system, responsible for some of the warmest temperatures since the previous early fall across the area. Afternoon temperatures Thursday afternoon soared to 90 in the Roanoke area. The very warm temperatures in advance of the strong upper dynamics supported the development of an intense line of thunderstorms or quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) which marched through southern Virginia and northern North Carolina during the early morning hours. Strong thunderstorm wind gusts blew down a number of trees through the counties bordering North Carolina from Carroll county on the west to Pittsylvania county on the east. There was also one lightning strike causing considerable damage to a home in Botetourt county, just northeast of Roanoke. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Botetourt View reported that a home in Fincastle sustained significant damage from fire and smoke as a result of a lightning strike. A portion of the attic and roof of the large two-story home on Brugh's Mill Road were badly damaged by fire from the lightning strike. |
