The wider storm

A mid-level anomalous ridge over the east coast funneled in well above normal temperatures and moisture on southwest flow across New Hampshire for Mid-April. A pre-frontal trough pushed into New Hampshire by the evening creating a catalyst for thunderstorm development, with a line of storms pushing through Southern New Hampshire. A few of these storms became severe, bringing gusty winds and large hail.

Began near North Swanzey (42.9200, -72.2600).
