Wider weather episode
An upper level trough as a cold front approached at the surface. Just before a line of thunderstorms reached our area along the cold front, thunderstorms developed over our area in a zone of low-level warm advection. This moisture eventually interacted with the storms along the cold front and helped strengthen them. Severe thunderstorms developed and produced damaging winds in southern CT.
