What happened
The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
Severe thunderstorms developed in northwest Massachusetts late in the afternoon and traveled southward, affecting much of Rhode Island, before exiting Cape Cod and the Islands - a path of approximately 175 miles. This short-lived derecho produced widespread wind damage throughout the region.Shortly before 7 pm, the storms entered southern Rhode Island from Worcester County Massachusetts and Windham County Connecticut. A tree was downed on Route 101 in Foster. As the storms reached southern Rhode Island, a trained spotter in Bristol reported an unofficial wind gust to 69 mph. Large tree limbs were downed in Portsmouth and Tiverton. Penny sized hail was also reported in Tiverton. Wires were downed in Newport. In Warren, 12 students had to be rescued when their boats capsized. No one wasinjured.To date, the last derecho to affect southern New England was on July 15, 1995, when a band of severethunderstorms raced from Michigan at midnight to the Massachusetts coast by 8 am. Those stormsproduced a wind gust to 93 mph at Otis Massachusetts in Berkshire County, and damage was reported asfar east as Worcester County.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
615 PM EDT WED AUG 2 2006
.MESOSCALE UPDATE 7...
WW 671 IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT.
IMPRESSIVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS HEADING TOWARD COAST...
AND WARNINGS ARE POSTED ALL WAY TO PLYMOUTH COUNTY AS WELL AS
ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. INSTABILITY AXIS IS NOW ALIGNED FROM BOSTON
TO PROVIDENCE AND BRIDGEPORT CT...JUST AHEAD OF LINE...AND WE CAN
STILL SEE BLOWOFF FROM THESE STORMS BEING PUSHED OFF TO NE. AS A
RESULT WE HAVE NO STABILIZATION AHEAD OF THESE STORMS LIKE WE
NORMALLY SEE...ALL DUE TO STRONG RIDGING ALOFT.
BASE VELOCITY IMAGES SHOW 60KT NEAR FRANKLIN MA /WESTERN NORFOLK
COUNTY/ WITH 45KT BACK INTO SE WORCESTER COUNTY. WE ARE SEEING LOWER
SPEEDS IN NORTHERN RI BUT REFLECTIVITY SIGNATURES SUPPORT A
CONTINUED THREAT OF WIND DAMAGE THERE.
ALSO...CHECK OUT THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY DROPPING S THROUGH RI AND SE
MA AHEAD OF LINE. WE ARE NOT GETTING GOOD VELOCITY READINGS ON RADAR
BECAUSE IT MOVING IS PERPENDICULAR TO RADAR BEAM.
OTHER CELLS ON WESTERN SIDE OF LINE ACROSS HARTFORD/TOLLAND COUNTIES
ARE LESS IMPRESSIVE...ALTHOUGH THEY ARE STILL CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
40 MPH GUSTS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN. WE THINK THERE IS
A LIMITED SEVERE THREAT HERE IN NEXT 2 HOURS.
SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS...THEN SHOULD SUBSIDE AS
THIS COMPLEX WORKS OFFSHORE.
JWD

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND THURSDAY/...
USED A BLEND OF THE GFS AND NAM WHICH HAVE SIMILAR SYNOPTIC
SOLUTIONS. EXPECTING THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TO CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE A BETTER FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION THAN HAS BEEN AVAILABLE DURING THIS HEAT SPELL. THINK
THE MOS POPS ARE TOO LOW...AND WILL GO ABOVE THEM FOR LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.
LOTS OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...SO THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.
MOS TEMPERATURES LOOK REASONABLE FOR TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...SO DID
NOT STRAY TOO FAR. WILL CONTINUE THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS AND
ADVISORIES. AM A LITTLE CONCERNED DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM CONVECTION MAY
PREVENT THE MERRIMACK VALLEY IN MA FROM REACHING THE CRITERIA
OUTRIGHT THURSDAY...BUT IT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO KEEP IT GOING FOR NOW.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT EXPECTED BE IN THE PROCESS OF
TRACKING THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THURSDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITABLE
WATER STILL IN THE 1.5 TO 2 INCH RANGE IN THE VICINITY OF THE
FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS IN AND NEAR THE FRONT...WITH
LINGERING INSTABILITY DURING THE EARLY EVENING WILL HAVE THE CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL.
DURING FRIDAY MORNING GFS SHOWS A MORE COMFORTABLE AIRMASS MOVING
INTO THE REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
BRING MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES...BUT MORE NOTICEABLY BY FRIDAY A
5 TO 10 DEGREE DROP IN DEW POINTS IS EXPECTED.
THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS OVER NEW ENGLAND DURING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY...BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS FOR THIS WEEKEND.
A SECOND COLD FRONT SHOULD CROSS THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...HAVE CHANCE POPS IN ZONES FOR THIS FEATURE.
ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DRY OUT THE AREA AGAIN
FOR NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AS WELL AS AREAS OF HAZE OVERNIGHT...WILL RESULT IN MVFR
VISIBILITY AT LEAST. MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS WELL. PLEASE SEE THE
LATEST TAFS FOR MORE DETAILS AND TIMING.
&&
.MARINE...
WNA WAVE MODEL STILL TRIES TO BUILD SEAS TOO MUCH OVERNIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...BASED UPON LATEST BUOY REPORTS. HAVE DROPPED THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY AS A RESULT. GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS
EXPECTED. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING ACROSS THE WATERS
EAST OF MA MAY RESULT IN WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 KT.
LONG TERM...WIND GUSTS AND SEAS MAY APPROACH SCA CRITERIA DURING
THURSDAY NIGHT ON OUTER COASTAL WATERS DUE TO LOW PRESSURE CROSSING
INTO THE WATERS...AND ACCOMPANYING SOUTHWEST FLOW BEFORE LOW PASSES
EAST. HIGH PRESSURE TO FOLLOW FOR FRI PM THROUGH SUNDAY.
