In Chelsea, several basements were flooded on Garfield and Columbus Aves.

The wider storm

A warm front stalled across Connecticut and Rhode Island, producing thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall. This caused significant flash flooding. Also, wind shear was just strong enough for a few thunderstorms to become severe, with locally damaging wind gusts. A Tornado Warning was even issued for a storm in northern Worcester County, but no tornado damage was reported.

Began near Revere (42.4069, -71.0294).
