June 13th, 2021 Severe Storms

Overview

During the afternoon and evening of June 13th, 2021, thunderstorms developed in association with an upper level disturbance across West Virginia into northern Virginia. Instability was in place across our area surface based CAPES ranging from near 1000 J/kg in the Piedmont to 2500 J/kg in West Virginia, with higher Downdraft CAPEs of 1000+ J/kg across the southern VA area into NC. Upper forcing and divergence combined with steep low level lapse rates provided an environment favorable for keeping clusters of storms moving from northern WV and northern VA south into our forecast area. Some of the storms produced damaging winds that ran from southeast WV and the Shenandoah Valley south through the Roanoke and New River Valleys, into the VA/NC foothills and Piedmont.  See image to the right. The 39 reports for this event are the greatest number of reports for a single severe weather day since April 8th, 2020.

Storm Reports from June 13th, 2021. Blue circles indicated wind damage.
