Wider weather episode

A weak frontal boundary pushed through Maine during the evening hours of July 13th. A hot unstable airmass was in place with above normal temperatures and deep moisture. This allowed for a line of scattered thunderstorms to develop in a weak sheer environment. Most storms were on the strong side, but a severe storm did develop in York and Kennebec County.
