Looking at the ensembles and other guidance, I do think if the overall 500mb pattern is true...we might get a shot at more NW flow-style severe events beyond the first week of August. While not perfect matches, I do see an similar angle to the 500mb flow from some of our notable severe events from the past.

...NWS Damage Survey for 07/28/26 Tornado Event...

.Overview...

Severe storms moved into the region during the afternoon of July 
28. One of the storms that progressed through Talbot County 
Maryland produced two distinct tornadoes in Trappe, Maryland. 
Multiple witnesses reported the tornado that affected the Backtown
Road fully dissipated before the storm crossed over Highway 50. 
The storm then produced another tornado on the east side of 
Highway 50 near Tarbutton Mill Road.

The NWS would like to thank Talbot County Emergency Management 
and area residents for their assistance in this survey.
