The wider storm

Surface low pressure supported by vigorous mid-level shortwave moved across northern NY and northern New England during the afternoon and evening hours of June 18th.

Moderate instability combined with directional wind shear at multiple levels and a cold front helped develop a line of thunderstorms in NY that increased in intensity and coverage as it moved across VT with wind damage as well as weak, isolated tornadoes in VT.

Began near Barre (44.2000, -72.4900).
