Jun 15, 1998
The juxtaposition of a northward moving warm front, strong surface low pressure over the midwest, and a fast upper-level jet combined to produce another outbreak of severe weather - this coming two days after a notable episode over much of northern Virginia on the 13th. Once again, damage was highlighted by downed trees, large hail, and several cases of flash flooding. Much of the notable tree damage occurred over and east of the piedmont; flash flooding was seen over and west of the piedmont.
