Event narrative

The Weather Flow measuring station at Dread Ledge recorded a 40 mph wind gust. No damage was reported.

Wider weather episode

A shortwave trough moved eastward from the Great Lakes into Northern New England, eroding a mid level cap associated with a subtropical ridge over Southern New England. This allowed widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop over the area resulting in numerous reports of wind damage throughout southern New England and the adjacent marine zones.

Despite the amount of damage the storms caused, they did bring some relief from a few days of record high temperatures across New England.
