Tornado. Wind damage was first observed near a residence on Farmington|Road, knocking down and snapping several trees in a narrow swath.|The tornado then continued over railroad tracks and a cornfield, |where a notable convergent pattern was observed. From there, the |tornado proceeded eastward toward the South DuPont Highway, but |not before causing damage to a business where metal roofing was |peeled off. Several snapped trees were also noted on the property.|Subsequently, the tornado crossed Gun and Rod Club Road where |another area of trees were downed, with numerous branches across |the roadway. South of Williamsville Road along Hogtown Road, a |residence was damaged when a tree fell on to the roof. On the |other side of the road, a corn field was present with a notable |divergent pattern observed. This damage, south of the tornado |track, was likely due to a RFD surge.

After a significant heatwave, a cold front approached the mid-Atlantic on July 1, 2021. A potent mid-level trough was also digging southward through southern Ontario and into the Great Lakes region, and a strong upper level jet streak was present downstream the trough axis, over the interior mid-Atlantic and northern New England. This strong upper level forcing combined with the approaching front and a lingering warm, moist air mass ahead of it caused widespread thunderstorm development on July 1. Storms occurred almost exclusively south of Interstate 78, in the environment of best instability. A number of storms became severe, taking the form of mainly linear and multi-cellular clusters but with some embedded supercellular characteristics. Straight line wind damage was the primary hazard, with a number of reports of downed trees and power outages due to winds. In addition, two confirmed EF-1 tornadoes occurred over southern Delaware. A remnant outflow boundary from earlier storms to the north, combined with sea/bay breezes in the area, likely caused a localized enhancement of low level wind shear and created a corridor of enhanced tornado potential. With the cold front remaining to the west, some storm activity continued into the overnight, but storm coverage and intensity gradually waned with the loss of daytime heating and the overturning of the atmosphere from earlier storms.
