Ask the Weather Guys: Friday derecho

Posted: Updated:

Today's Ask the Weather Guy question comes from Alan in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He writes, "Why did we have such a destructive storm on Friday? It seems that the Appalachian mountains usually rob storm systems coming in from the west of their clout as they are forced up into the cooler air. Did this not happen because the entire region was so hot? If the eastern seaboard remains this hot, does that mean more destructive storms will pass relatively unchecked over the appalachians?'
