The wider storm
A stationary frontal boundary was draped across northern NY east across central VT and New England during the afternoon of April 16th. A weak area of low pressure was traversing this frontal boundary as well. Temperatures and dewpoints were summerlike along and south of the boundary allowing for thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and evening hours.
Several thunderstorms contained gusty winds in excess of 40 mph, but only a few storms were severe. One storm in Williamstown produced a low-end EF1 tornado and golf ball size hail. This same storm produced quarter size hail in East Orange.
