The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
On the morning of the 27th, low pressure was located across Ontario with an accompanying cold front across the eastern Great Lakes, while high pressure was located around New Brunswick. The pressure gradient between both systems accounted for brisk low-level flow from the south and southeast of 20 to 30 mph with brief wind gusts that approached 45 mph. These strong winds combined with saturated soil conditions due to recent 2 to 4 inch rainfalls, as well as previous abnormally wet soil conditions, contributed to a tree that fell on Maple Street in Essex Center .
