The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
A backdoor cold front and mid-level disturbance moved into a moderately unstable airmass during the afternoon of the 2nd, which resulted in the development of showers and thunderstorms across northern New York that moved into Vermont. Some of these thunderstorms were locally severe, which produced damaging winds that knocked down trees and powerlines in South Burlington and Richmond (Chittenden county) as well as Barre (Washington county) and North Williamstown (Orange county). A tin barn was collapsed by thunderstorm winds in Bradford (Orange county). In addition, some of these severe storms produced large hail of 3/4 inch in diameter or greater, including just shy of golf ball size in Moretown (Washnigton county), nickel size hail in South Burlington (Chittenden county) and East Barre (Washington).
In addition, the bell tower of the Old Brick Church in Williston (Chittenden county) was struck by lightning that caused a fire to the structure. Also, lightning struck a home in South Burlington (Chittenden county) which resulted in a minor fire and structural damage.

NWS Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 1:15 PM EST, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT 215 PM EDT SAT JUN 2 2007 ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #331 IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM ALL AREAS EXCEPT FAR NRN/NERN VT... .SYNOPSIS... A STATIONARY FRONT...WHICH HAS MEANDERED ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE REGION TODAY INTO SUNDAY...WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY ONCE AGAIN CONTAIN STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY SOUTH AND WEST. BY LATER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH...AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BARRY MOVE NORTHWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND...IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ADVANCING EASTWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES STATES. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... HAVE UPDATED PRODUCTS TO ACCOUNT FOR RECENTLY ISSUED SVR WATCH #331 EFFECTIVE THRU 00Z. IT APPEARS WE/LL HAVE ISOLATED STORMS MOVING OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE ADIRONDACKS INTO THE CHAMPLAIN VLY/RUTLAND COUNTY DURING THE NEXT 1-3 HRS. ALSO...CONVECTION DEVELOPING WEST OF THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY WILL MOVE INTO FAR NRN NY THRU LATE AFTN AND WILL ALSO HAVE AN ASSOCIATED LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND/HAIL THREAT. ISOLD SHOWERS AND AFTN/EVENING TSTMS WILL CONTINUE AS PRIMARY FOCUS TODAY. AIR MASS IS RELATIVELY MOIST WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S AREAWIDE. A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM NW-SE VCNTY OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER WITH ISOLD SHOWERS NEAR THE BOUNDARY AT 1415Z FROM JUST SOUTH OF KMSS TO KBTV TO KMPV. EXPECTATION IS FOR BEST AIR MASS DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR ALONG OUR SRN/WRN CWA WHERE SKIES ARE MOSTLY SUNNY ATTM. ANTICIPATE SBCAPE VALUES 1000-1500 J/KG ACROSS RUTLAND/WINDSOR COUNTIES AND ALSO ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NRN ADIRONDACKS AND ST. LAWRENCE VLY BY MID AFTN. SFC-6KM SHEAR WILL BE STRONGEST TO THE NORTH /AROUND 40KTS/...BUT SUFFICIENT /AROUND 30KTS/ IN AREA OF BEST SBCAPE TO ALLOW FOR SOME STORM ORGANIZATION AND SVR THREAT THIS AFTN/EVE. INSTABILITY WILL BE LOWEST ACROSS NERN VT. DEEP-LAYER FORCING MAY ALSO BE AIDED BY APPARENT MID-LVL VORT IN WV IMAGERY CROSSING GEORGIAN BAY VCNTY AT 14Z. NAM12 INDICATES THIS FEATURE...THOUGH IT APPEARS AFFECTED BY CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AS IT TRACKS INTO NRN NY BY 00Z. WILL ISSUE AN SPS TO HIGHLIGHT ISOLD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CHAMPLAIN VLY SOUTHWARD AND WESTWARD. MAIN THREAT WOULD BE LOCALIZED SEVERE DOWNDRAFT WINDS AND POSSIBLE SVR HAIL WITH STRONGEST CORES. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... ANY LINGERING CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD THEN WANE INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH LOSS OF OVERALL FORCING/LIFT...THEN POTENTIALLY REDEVELOP ACROSS WRN ZONES LATER AT NIGHT AS ADDL ENERGY ACROSS SC ONTARIO RIDES SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG MID LVL BAROCLINIC ZONE. WILL CARRY AN OVERALL 20 POP SE INCREASING TO 40 NW AFTER MIDNIGHT ALONG WIT LIGHT WINDS AND PATCHY FOG. TEMPS TO REMAIN ON THE MILD SIDE..RANGING GENERALLY FROM THE M50S TO L60S AREA WIDE. INTERESTING AND SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING FCST THEN OCCURS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY AS REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BARRY ADVANCE NORTHWARD TOWARDS NEW ENGLAND. OPERATIONAL SOLNS STILL REMAIN IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON DEVELOPING RATHER ROBUST CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY...DESPITE PLACEMENT OF MID TO UPPER LVL RIDGE AXIS ATOP REGION. THIS APPEARS TO BE IN RESPONSE TO BAND OF RATHER STRONG BNDRY LYR MOISTURE CONVERGENCE DEVELOPING AS TROPICAL ENVELOPE PUSHES NORTHWARD INTO EXISTING AIRMASS ACROSS REGION. HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF SETUP BEFORE...AND IT CAN BE FAIRLY INNOCUOUS AND POTENTIALLY CONCERNING...ESP CONSIDERING RATHER HIGH PWATS AND SUCH LIGHT WINDS ALOFT. THIS WOULD ARGUE FOR SLOW MOVEMENT IN ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES DEVELOP...WITH SOME LOCALIZED FF CONCERNS IN STRONGER ACTIVITY. WILL OPT TO INCLUDE ADDL ENHANCED WORDING FOR LOCALLY HVY RAFL ACCORDINGLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BY SUNDAY EVENING INTO MONDAY...BROAD AND DEEP TROPICAL AIRMASS/MOISTURE THEN OVERSPREADS MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND/ERN NY FROM THE SOUTH...WITH WIDESPREAD RAFL PUSHING NORTHWARD ACROSS AREA. MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS IN RESPONSE TO DEEP SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY MID LVL FLOW ON ERN SIDE OF ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH ACROSS OHIO VLLY/GREAT LAKES STATES. WITH SUCH GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG OPERATIONAL/ENSEMBLE SOLNS ON EVOLUTION/INTERACTION OF THESE FEATURES...WILL INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL INTO MONDAY...WITH SOME HEAVIER RAFL POSSBL SRN PORTIONS OF VT. FAIRLY QUICK MOVEMENT OF TROPICAL SYSTEM SHOULD PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD VERY HVY RAFL...THOUGH A NUMBER OF AREAS COULD RECEIVE AND ADDL 0.75 TO 1.5 INCHES IN THE 24 PERIOD FROM 12Z MONDAY TO 12Z TUE. TEMPS TO ALSO TREND COOLER BY MONDAY DUE TO THE WIDESPREAD RAFL/CLOUD COVER. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... REMNANTS OF EXITING SYSTEM FROM WEEKEND CONTINUE TO LIFT N AND E AWAY FROM THE REGION. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF SHOWERS TUES NGT INTO WED MORN...TAPERING THEM FROM SW TO NE BFR ENDING BY MIDDAY WED. MDLS HAVE SHIFTED A BIT WITH APPROACH OF NEXT SYSTEM. CURRENT RUNS FAVOR THURS/FRI DUE TO SFC RIDGE WHICH BUILDS OVER AREA LATE WED INTO EARLY THURS. WARM FRNTL PRECIP LIFTS N INTO AREA THURS AFTNOON...MVG N OF CWA BY THURS NGT. THIS WILL PUT CWA INTO WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF CD FROPA ON FRI INTO SAT MORN. WITH INCR INSTABILITY OF BEING IN WARM SECTOR...PUT IN MENTION OF TRW BUT KEPT AT CHANCE POPS DUE TO TIMING IN MDL ISSUES. HIGH PRESSURE WORKS OVER THE CWA BEHIND FRNT ON SAT CLRING REGION OUT.

MAINLY MVFR COND DURING THIS TIME. THIS LOW WILL BE COMBINING WITH TROPICAL REMNANTS MVG NORTH ALONG THE COAST TO BRING HEAVIER RAINFALL TO THE AREA SUN NGT INTO TUES...BFR CLRING REGION ON WED. THIS INCR RAINFALL WILL LWR COND FROM MVFR DOWN TO IFR AT TIMES DUE TO VSBY REDUCTION AND LOWER CEILINGS. && .HYDROLOGY... SLOW MOVING STORMS POSSBL ON SUNDAY DUE TO RELATIVELY LIGHT MID TO UPPER LVL WIND REGIME AND MOIST COLUMNAR MOISTURE PROFILES. LOWEST FF GUIDANCE IS ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF VERMONT...IN PARTICULAR ACROSS PORTIONS OF FRANKLIN/LAMOILLE/ORLEANS/CALEDONIA/ORANGE COUNTIES....WHERE 3 HR FF GUIDANCE IS AROUND 2 INCHES DUE TO CONVECTIVE SYSTEM AFFECTING THESE AREAS OVER THE PAST TWO NIGHTS. THUS THESE AREAS WOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF ANY LOCALIZED RUNOFF PROBLEMS ON SUNDAY SHOULD SLOW MOVING CONVECTION DEVELOP. OUTSIDE OF THESE AREAS...VALUES SOMEWHAT HIGHER...AND ON THE ORDER OF 3 INCHES. IN TERMS OF BARRY REMNANTS...AGAIN...FAIRLY QUICK MOVEMENT OF SYSTEM SHOULD PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD VERY HEAVY RAFL...WITH QPF ENSEMBLE SOLNS ADVERTISING A BROAD 0.75 TO 1.5 INCH RAFL ACROSS THE ERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FA DURING THE 24 HR PERIOD FROM 12Z MONDAY TO 12Z TUESDAY.
