| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Tropical Storm Elsa approached the mid-Atlantic states from the south on July 8. Downstream of Elsa, a warm and moist environment was present. A slow moving frontal boundary also resided over northern New Jersey, northern Pennsylvania, and into New York. This frontal system provided forcing for convective development over the mid-Atlantic, in fairly close proximity but unrelated to Tropical Storm Elsa. With strong instability and weak to moderate wind shear, some of the storms became severe as they organized into linear and multi-cellular clusters. Deep layer southerly flow in advance of Elsa caused storms to move northward as opposed to a more typical eastward motion. Damaging wind was the main hazard associated with these storms, with several strong downbursts noted. Storm activity eventually weakened and moved north of the region by evening as Elsa moved in. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A house was struck by lightning on Indian Trail with smoke reported in the house. This occurred from a morning round of sub-severe convection which preceded severe thunderstorms later in the day. Time estimated from dispatch report. |
