| Episode Narrative | A cold front crossed into the area at peak heating of the day creating high instability along with moderate wind shear. Scattered thunderstorms developed ahead of the front as well as more organized lines closer to the front, producing downburst winds but very little hail. Some training of cells occurred resulting in some flash flooding as well. Every Virginia county in the warning area had a warning issued at one point or another. |
| Event Narrative | Flooding from an unnamed creek caused Union Church Road to be closed. |
