Wider weather episode

A deep longwave trough, south-southwest flow at all levels, and the development of a QLCS (quasi-linear convective system) created all the ingredients for a widespread and susbstantial flash flood event across much of southern New England. For a few hours during the late morning, helicity values were high and a brief tornado formed along the QLCS in North Brookfield, MA.
