The wider storm

In the midst of record heat a weak short wave east of a more elongated trough axis moved through southern New England bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Dewpoints were in the low 70s with steep mid-level lapse rates and robust instability thanks to the warm and moist airmass.

Began near Russell (42.2000, -72.8700).
