SouthernNJ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Radar indicated widespread downburst winds across the Richmond Metro area, perhaps a spin-up tornado mixed in. Difficult to tell for sure. The new SVR polygon a little confusing as the worst part of the storm is moving ESE toward Quinton, and it suggests a more SE track. I believe they are anticipating new development along the outflow boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Whenever such a wide area of downburst winds moves through this many structures and power lines, the result will be very devastating to the local power grid. Pretty much a case of worst-possible timing for peak intensity of a storm. Looked to be between 241-259 from Henrico to Mechanicsville to Richmond proper as the areas for most damage based upon radar data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodhokie Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 My sister just texted me and said there was a tornado spotted near Highland Springs...any confirmation on this? Nothing confirmed on the ground, everything was radar-indicated. From what Midlo has been telling us, high striaght-line winds were what he was experiencing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 all i saw was straight line winds taking the trees down I'd be surprised if there was anything more than a brief tornado based on radar. It quickly became outflow dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looks like Williamsburg will also get rocked by this storm. Not quite the same winds but continuous lightning and perhaps some hail as well. Always a concern because of the tourists down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsu_wxgirl Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks for the update. I had been watching it on the radar trying to help her get to the airport. All I saw was straight line winds in the velocity but thought I'd check to see if there was any visual reports. Nothing confirmed on the ground, everything was radar-indicated.
