The derecho remains one of the most widespread and ruinous severe thunderstorms in the region.

The first hints of real trouble came in the midafternoon. As meteorologists monitored the storms that were building and bubbling eastward from the Midwest, there was growing concern that the merging line of intertwining cells would sustain strength, and even intensify, while traversing into the searing heat and sweltering humidity downwind.

Sue Palka, chief meteorologist with WTTG Fox 5 in Washington, was off that night and traveling home from New York when she sawto the west as she approached Washington. She became “alarmed” when she saw the Weather Service’s “particularly dangerous situation” severe-thunderstorm warning on her phone. The storm complex, blasting eastward at over 60 mph, toppled so many trees that roads were impassible all over the region.

“One thing I still recall clearly was how much the derecho modified our air mass,” he said in an email. “When I left for work the following morning it was a beautiful morning and much less humid. High temperatures the following day were greatly affected by the derecho, and we fell way short of the excessive heat warning we had out for that Saturday.”
