The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
Very hot and humid conditions prevailed across Southern New England on the 28th of June. This in combination with an approaching cold front aided in the development of thunderstorms during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Many of the storms produced wind damage and hail across Rhode Island.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 458 PM EDT THU JUN 28 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE. OTHERWISE...MUCH COOLER WEATHER WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. UNSETTLED WEATHER MAY RETURN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT TIMING AND DURATION IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/... DAMAGE S OXFORD ABOUT 20 MIN PH POLE DOWN AND BRAQNCHES 12 INCHES IN DIAMATER DOWN. LSR SHORTLY. RADAR TELLS THE STORY ON ALL THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN. WE WILL TRIM THE WATCH PROBABLY AROUND 530 PM IN NRN ORH COUNTY...NW MIDDLESEX AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTIES. MOST OF THE ACTION IS S OF THE MASS PIKE AND WILL GROW PER CFP STRENGTHENING MA/CT BORDER TO JUST S OF BOS. AS YOU ALL KNOW...VERY UNSTABLE THERE. ACTIVITY WILL WEAKEN STEADILY SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AND AS FRONT SETTLES SWD TO THE S COAST. HWO HAS OUR INTENTIONS FAIRLY WELL STATED. BOSTON HARTFORD PROVIDENCE AND MANCHESTER ALL OFFICIALLY A 3 DAY HEAT WAVE...3 CONSEC DAYS OF 90 OR HIGHER. HI AT 4PM STILL LOW-MID 90S MHT-CEF SEWD TO JUST INSIDE THE S COAST. && .SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTS TO THE SOUTH COAST BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z THIS EVENING THEN OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL THEN GRADUALLY INFILTRATE THE REGION. HIGH CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT PER GFS TSEC THEN BECOMES SUNNY FRIDAY. AN AIR QUALITY ALERT CONTINUES FOR ALL OF RHODE ISLAND UNTIL 8PM TODAY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST AQABOX STATEMENT. FCST FRIDAY IS PRIMARILY GFS. WE DID QUICK CHECKS OF RGEM/GGEM/UKMET/ECMWF FOR THIS ASSESSMENT WHICH IS SEVERAL DAYS CONTINUITY. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE NUMBERS LOOK REASONABLE AND WE EXPECT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S...WITH LOWER 60S IN THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND OF BOSTON. SKIES WILL START OUT SUNNY SATURDAY MORNING...BUT WE SHOULD SEE SKIES BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME DIURNAL CUMULUS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE NUMBERS LOOK GOOD AND WE EXPECT HIGHS TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80. LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL DROP DOWN IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING...BUT COLD AIR ALOFT WITH 500 MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO BETWEEN -16C AND -20C MAY STEEPEN LAPSE RATES ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL RUN WITH 15 TO 30 POPS FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL. BEST CHANCE WILL BE IN SOUTHERN NH...CLOSEST TO THE COLD POOL. EITHER WAY...THE AREAL COVERAGE AND DURATION OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE LIMITED. OTHERWISE...SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR LATER SATURDAY EVENING AS LOW TEMPERATURES FALL MAINLY INTO THE 50S. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL DAY. WITH DEEP NORTHEAST TROUGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...HIGHS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING INTO THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WILL INSERT A 15 TO 20 POP FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THE LATER AFTERNOON/EVENING IN CASE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM POPS UP AS ITS QUITE COLD ALOFT. EITHER WAY THOUGH...MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY. OUR STRING OF NICE WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. SKIES SHOULD BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S WITH COOL NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE FORECAST BECOMES MORE UNCERTAIN IN THE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THE GFS MODEL SEEMS A BIT FAST IN BRINING IN PRECIPITATION TO OUR REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING...WHEN COMPARING IT TO THE UKMET/CANADIAN/ECMWF. FOR NOW WE WILL HOLD OFF ON CHANCE POPS UNTIL THE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY TIME FRAME. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION BUT WE DO NOT EXPECT A WASHOUT OVER THIS TIME AND IT MAY BE RAIN FREE FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME. AS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES...THINK HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 70S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BUT MUCH OF THE REGION MAY BE BACK INTO THE 80S BY THURSDAY. && .AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... PLS SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS ON THUNDER THIS EVE. OTRW VFR THRU FRIDAY. LIFR ST/FOG FLIRTS WITH HYA AND TAF THROUGH ABOUT 06Z TONIGHT. REGARDING CONCERN FOR THUNDER BTWN BOS-ALB...
