Severe thunderstorm outflow wind gusts downed trees and wires blocking both lanes of Ross Rd.

The wider storm

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.

Began near Old Orchard Beach (43.5400, -70.3700).
