The wider storm

An upper level disturbance crossed the region during the afternoon of the 5th with cooling temperatures aloft. The cooling temperatures aloft...along with increasing heat and moisture at low levels...led to increasing afternoon instability. Thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon and persisted into the evening. Some of the thunderstorms reached severe levels producing damaging winds and large hail. The most extensive severe thunderstorms occurred across central and southern portions of Penobscot county along with southern Piscataquis county.

Began near Sebec (45.2700, -69.1200).
