What a set of thunderstorms over the weekend. Humid conditions ahead of a stalled strong cold front caused some serious instability ( aka increased vertical lift from air particles) kept us on the severe t-storm watch and even a tornado watch all weekend. A tornado was not likely, but the storms had the capability of producing low level rotation, which in turn could produce funnel clouds and ultimately tornadoes. There were no confirmed tornadoes but there was one at least one confirmed funnel cloud over the Connecticut River in Hartford. Some highlights from the storms.
- 60 to 80!! MPH wind gust widely reported including in the Boston area.
- Many tree limbs down and even tree's uprooted.
- Reports of golf ball sized hail in Western Mass.
- Lots of lightening and one person injured when lightening struck the fire station in Malden
- Many trees fallen on cars and houses.
All in all a pretty wild weather weekend!
