OBSERVED. SOME HOMES SUSTAINED WIND DAMAGE TO THEIR ROOF STRUCTURES
AND ONE GARAGE WAS DAMAGED. SOME OF THE DAMAGE TO A BARN...AND ONE
AREA OF WIND DAMAGE TO TREES BETWEEN SHARPSBURG AND KEEDYSVILLE WAS
SEVERE. MANY HARDWOOD AND SOFTWOOD TREES WERE SNAPPED OFF AT THE
TRUNK. ALL OF THE DAMAGE WAS ALIGNED ALONG THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND

WAS OBSERVED IN THE LEETOWN AREA ALONG WITH LARGE NUMBERS OF DOWNED
AND UPROOTED TREES. OTHER WIND DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED IN RANSON...

TULIP POPLAR TREE FALL THROUGH THE ROOF. PORTIONS OF ROOFS AND
SIDING WERE TORN AWAY FROM 10-20 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. TREE AND ROOF
DAMAGE ALSO OCCURRED IN THE BAYVIEW HILLS AREA OF CHESAPEAKE BEACH.

CONSTRUCTED 30X40 FOOT BARN. THE MAXIMUM WIND WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 90
MPH. TOTAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE BY LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WAS
ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $237,000.

IN FREDERICK COUNTY VIRGINIA...AN AREAL SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED OF
NORTHERN FREDERICK COUNTY VIRGINIA JUST NORTHWEST OF THE CITY OF
WINCHESTER. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN THE TOWNS OF GAINESBORO
AND GORE. A NEARLY CONTINUOUS PATH OF DAMAGE ABOUT 5 MILES LONG
ALONG STONY HILL ROAD WAS DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY STRAIGHT LINE
WINDS FROM A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. MAXIMUM WINDS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE
100 MPH. DOZENS OF TREES WERE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED. WINDOWS WERE
BLOWN OUT OF A FEW VEHICLES AND HOMES. A LARGE TOWER WAS TOPPLED.

CREATED AN INTERMITTENT PATH OF DAMAGE FROM THE TOWN OF MILLWOOD

SHENANDOAH RETREAT AREA. THE DAMAGE WAS MOST CONSISTENT AROUND THE
TOWN OF MILLWOOD. AT LEAST 12 HOMES IN THAT AREA WERE DAMAGED...
CONSISTING OF TREES INTO HOUSES... SIDING... AND ROOFING DAMAGE. THE
MAJORITY OF THE DAMAGE IN EASTERN CLARKE COUNTY WAS CAUSED BY
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS OF 80 TO 90 MPH FROM MICROBURSTS PRODUCED BY THE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. TREES WERE MAINLY ALL LAID OUT PARALLEL TO THE
PATH OF THE STORM. HOWEVER...A SMALL EF-1 TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN
AMONGST THE POCKETS OF STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE. NEAR THE CARTER
HALL AREA OF MILLWOOD... NEARLY ALL OF THE LARGE TREES IN ONE STRAND
WERE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED AND FELL IN NEARLY EVERY DIRECTION. THE
TORNADO HAD A PATH LENGTH OF A HALF MILE AND A WIDTH OF 100 YARDS.
MAXIMUM WIND SPEED WAS 90 MPH. TOTAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AT THIS TIME
IS ESTIMATED BY LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO BE AROUND $44,000 IN
EASTERN CLARKE COUNTY.

ONE DAMAGE SURVEY TEAM IS STILL COMPLETING ITS WORK AT THIS TIME.
PRELIMINARILY IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A TORNADO IN CULPEPER COUNTY
AND ANOTHER TORNADO IN STAFFORD COUNTY. FURTHER DETAILS ON THE
STRENGTH...LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THESE TORNADOES WILL BE AVAILABLE
EITHER LATE THIS EVENING OR FRIDAY.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION

Is there a possibility, they will extend the MDT area towards west Texas. It seems 2000+ CAPE to approach ther area by around midnight.

Edit : As to NAM 3500 J/kg should be in place in the Midland area.

Is there a possibility, they will extend the MDT area towards west Texas. It seems 2000+ CAPE to approach ther area by around midnight.

I don't think they will, in fact they are thinking of dropping the watch there.

STALLED ACROSS N-CNTRL/W-CNTRL OK...WHILE ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT HAS INCREASED FURTHER SWWD ALONG DRY LINE INTO W-CNTRL
TX. THIS ACTIVITY APPEARS TO BE AIDED BY FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH
MID-LEVEL IMPULSE /EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/ SHIFTING EWD FROM
NERN NM/TX PANHANDLE ON SRN PERIPHERY OF LARGER-SCALE TROUGH. WITH
CONVERGENCE ALONG DRY LINE ALSO INCREASING...EXPECT CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT TO BE SUSTAINED WELL INTO THE EVENING. STRONG SLY LLJ OF

ROBUST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND HIGH INSTABILITY...AS SAMPLED BY 00Z
OUN RAOB WITH MLCAPE AROUND 2600 J/KG. DEEP-LAYER SHEAR PROFILES
REMAIN VERY FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS WITH SUBSEQUENT UPSCALE GROWTH
TO A LINEAR MODE GIVEN KINEMATIC FIELDS NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE
INITIATION BOUNDARY. AS A RESULT...DAMAGING WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
THE PRIMARY THREAT...BUT TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE.

I would've bet money that Delaware had a tornado or two by the look of the line of storms that came through. I know that this was the same line that brought the tornados to VA and MD. Is this area the "Tornado Alley" of the Mid Atlantic?

Now 16 tornado reports and 103 (4) wind reports.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 467...

VALID 060044Z - 060215Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 467 CONTINUES.

THE TORNADO THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS ACROSS SW

STRONG TORNADOES MAY OCCUR WITH THE MORE DOMINANT AND PERSISTENT
SUPERCELLS. VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE

BACKED ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF IA AND IN ERN NEB. THIS COMBINED WITH
A 50 TO 55 KT LOW-LEVEL JET CENTERED OVER FAR SW IA IS CREATING

BELOW 750 METERS. THIS ALONG WITH THE SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT
SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG TORNADOES. THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES SHOULD EXIST WITH ROTATING CELLS EMBEDDED IN
