Wider weather episode

An upper level short wave trough moving through northern New England combined with an advancing cold front to produce severe thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening hours. Despite low K Indices and dry air aloft, the storms managed to strengthen and the dry air helped enhance the severe wind gusts. The storms mainly impacted areas from western MA east-southeastward into northern CT and northern RI.
