The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A cold front moved across Southern New England providing lift for showers and thunderstorms to develop across the area. Strong instability across the state of Connecticut as well as deep layer shear resulted in many of these storms to become severe. One of these storms produced a weak tornado (EF1) that moved across the community of Wethersfield. Numerous trees were downed, including one that split a house in half when it fell.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
402 PM EDT FRI JUN 26 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT CROSSING NEW YORK WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT
BRINGING SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE WILL THEN DROP OVER NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY BRINGING ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CLOUDS AND AND TIMES OF SHOWERY
WEATHER ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
MOST THUNDERSTORMS ARE PASSING NORTH AND SOUTHWEST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THERE IS ONE BATCH IN NORTHERN CONNECTICUT AND ADJACENT
MASSACHUSETTS THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS AREAS SOUTH OF THE MASS PIKE.
SURFACE BASED CAPES OF 2000 JOULES MAINLY OVER CONNECTICUT WITH AN
AXIS THROUGH RI AND SOUTHEAST MASS. ML CAPES IN THIS SOUTHERN AREA
ARE 500 JOULES OR LESS WITH INCREASING INHIBITION FROM WEST TO
EAST. THIS INSTABILITY SHOULD SUPPORT THUNDER THROUGH AT LEAST THE
EVENING AND EARLY NIGHT. MOST SUPPORT FOR SEVERE STORMS APPEARS TO
BE OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND FROM CONNECTICUT SOUTH. BUT THERE
ARE BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHEAST MASS WITH
ENOUGH TIME FOR SOLAR HEATING OF THE AIRMASS...SO THESE AREAS WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED TOO.
ALL MODELS BRING THE COLD FRONT TO RHODE ISLAND AND EASTERN MASS BY
12Z SATURDAY. WE WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH MIDNIGHT
AND THEN TAPER POPS THROUGH CHANCE OVERNIGHT WITH HIGHEST LATE NIGHT
POPS IN EASTERN MASS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BLEND OF MOS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
UPPER LOW PRESSURE AND ITS COLD AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY. SATELLITE AND OBSERVATIONS SHOW SOME DRYING AHEAD
OF THE UPPER LOW...SO PARTIAL CLEARING IS LIKELY FOR SATURDAY
MORNING. ONCE THE SUN GETS TO WORK ON THIS AIR...AND WITH SHARP LAPSE
RATES DUE TO THE COLD AIR ALOFT...THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD DESTABILIZE
SUFFICIENTLY FOR INCREASING CLOUDS BY MIDDAY/AFTERNOON AND FOR AT
LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. WET BULB ZERO VALUES DROP TO
9000-9500 FEET WHICH IS LOW ENOUGH FOR AT LEAST SMALL HAIL.
850 TEMPS AND THEIR 800 MB EQUIVALENTS ARE AROUND 10-12C...THAT WOULD
SUPPORT MAX TEMPS AROUND 80. CLOUDS MAY KEEP TEMPS A LITTLE BELOW MAX
POTENTIAL BUT THE COLD ADVECTION ALOFT WILL MAKE DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE
RATES AN EASIER REACH. WE USED A BLEND OF MOS WHICH YIELDED MAX
TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
***AN ABUNDANCE OF CLOUDS AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED
OVER MUCH OF THE PERIOD***
SATURDAY NIGHT...
SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION SHOULD COME TO END WITH THE LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING...BUT WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS EARLY IN THE EVENING FOR
ANY LEFTOVER ACTIVITY. THE REST OF THE NIGHT WILL PROBABLY BE DRY
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.
HOWEVER...A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF OUR REGION WILL BE SLIDING
EAST. THERE IS SOME MODEL DISAGREEMENT ON EXACTLY HOW THIS WILL
IMPACT OUR WEATHER. MOST OF THE MODELS ALONG WITH THE SREF POPS
INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE TO BACK ONTO THE
COASTAL PLAIN. THIS SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE WITH ONSHORE FLOW AND WILL
CARRY HIGH CHANCE POPS ALONG THE COAST LATE. LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE
TO REFINE POPS BASED ON LATER MODELS TRENDS. ALSO...EXPECT AREAS OF
FOG TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST WITH ONSHORE FLOW. LOWS SHOULD
MAINLY BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.
SUNDAY...
WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTHEAST WILL RESULT IN AN
EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW LOW CLOUDS TO HANG TOUGH AND PROBABLY
HOLD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE ACROSS A GOOD
CHUNK OF THE COASTAL PLAIN.
ACROSS THE INTERIOR...ITS A BIT MORE UNCERTAIN. SHOULD STILL SEE
PLENTY OF CLOUDS...BUT MAY SEE A FEW PEEKS OF SUN AT TIMES.
THEREFORE...HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY RECOVER INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NH/WESTERN MA/CONNECTICUT BUT
CONFIDENCE IS BELOW NORMAL.
AS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THINGS ARE A BIT UNCLEAR SINCE THERE
IS NOT REAL FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION. ONSHORE FLOW MAY BRING SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS OR PERHAPS EVEN AREAS OF DRIZZLE ALONG THE COASTAL
PLAIN. ACROSS THE INTERIOR...MARGINAL INSTABILITY MAY RESULT IN
POPUP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.
JUST GOING TO RUN WITH 30 TO 40 POPS SINCE WE ARE UNCERTAIN ON THE
AREAL COVERAGE/DURATION OF ANY PRECIPITATION.
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
ALL THE MODELS AGREE ON THE BASICS IN HAVING ANOTHER ANOMALOUS
CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE GREAT LAKES. THERE IS
NO POINT IN GOING INTO SPECIFIC DETAILS IN THIS TIME RANGE AS THEY
WILL CHANGE. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE TO HIGH THAT
TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ON
THE COASTAL PLAIN WITH ONSHORE FLOW AT TIMES. HOWEVER...ITS WARM
ALOFT SO IF THE CLOUDS BREAKUP A BIT DURING THE AFTERNOON...A DECENT
DAY OR TWO COULD BE SALVAGED ESPECIALLY IN THE INTERIOR. OVERALL
THOUGH EXPECT AN ABUNDANCE OF CLOUD COVER.
WHILE THE WORK WEEK IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A WASHOUT AND THERE SHOULD
BE PLENTY OF DRY WEATHER...SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE
REGION AT TIMES. WITH THE TROUGH AXIS TO OUR WEST WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS
THROUGH THE PERIOD FOR TIMES OF SHOWERS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOONS/EARLY EVENINGS WHEN
INSTABILITY WILL BE MAXIMIZED.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...
FIRST BATCH OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED LIGHTNING NEAR CONCORD NH WAS
MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN NH AND EASTERN MA AT 2 PM/18Z. BREAKS IN THE
OVERCAST OVER MUCH OF CT...WEST-CENTRAL MA INTO EASTERN NY WILL
PROMOTE TSTM DEVELOPMENT AFT 21Z THROUGH ABOUT 02Z. COVERAGE WILL BE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AT MHT/BOS AND PVD WITH TSTMS MORE NUMEROUS
ACROSS BDL/BAF. STRONG WINDS AND HAIL ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS.
RISK FOR TSTMS ARE VERY LOW TO NIL FOR HYA/FMH AND ACK THROUGH EARLY
THIS EVENING.
LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL DIMINISH AFTER 02Z/10 PM. HOWEVER...ISOLATED
TO SCT TSTMS MAY LINGER MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND. THIS INCLUDES BDL/PVD/HYA/FMH AND ACK.
SATURDAY...
QUIET MORNING WITH VFR MOST TERMINALS EXCEPT IFR/MVFR IN AREAS OF FOG
AT PVD/HYA/FMH AND ACK. BY AFTERNOON SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS EXPECTED
AT ALL TERMINALS. SMALL HAIL IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY TSTM SAT.
OUTLOOK /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
THERE LIKELY WILL BE TIMES OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CLOUDS/FOG
PATCHES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS. CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES SHOULD BE WORST ON THE COASTAL PLAIN WITH ON SHORE
FLOW...PARTICULARLY DURING THE LATE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING
HOURS. WE WILL LIKELY ALSO SEE TIMES OF VFR CONDITIONS AS
WELL...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THOSE CONDITIONS DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
&&
.MARINE...
LINGERING ROUGH SEAS ON THE OUTER WATERS MAINLY ON THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST OUTER WATERS. WE WILL EXTEND A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
ROUGH SEAS THROUGH 14Z. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 20 KNOTS TONIGHT
AND SATURDAY...EXCEPT IN THE VICINITY OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
DENSE FOG REPORTED ON NANTUCKET SOUND THIS AFTERNOON. FOG WILL LINGER
SOUTH AND EAST OF CAPE COD TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.
OUTLOOK /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MARGINAL 5 FOOT SEAS WILL FLIRT
WITH OUR FAR OUTER-WATERS AT TIMES. OTHERWISE...EXPECT WINDS TO
GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW SCA THRESHOLDS. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR
MARINERS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AND POOR VISIBILITIES WITH
ONSHORE FLOW. THIS WILL BE PARTICULARLY TRUE DURING THE OVERNIGHT
AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
&&

Large branches up to one foot in diameter and numerous trees were downed by thunderstorm winds. A two foot diameter tree landed on a house on Cedar Street when it was downed by thunderstorm winds. This tree also blocked Cedar Street, resulting in its closure.
A narrow tornado moved through Wethersfield. The NWS storm survey team found damage beginning near the intersection of Nott Street and Park Avenue and continuing southeast into a cornfield along Elm Street, between Maple Street and Interstate 91.
Along this track, numerous trees were downed. One of these trees fell onto a car on Park Avenue, trapping a person. Another fallen tree blocked the exit ramp of Exit 24 on Interstate 91. Many of these trees were large, healthy oak trees that were sliced in half, sheared off at their bases, or uprooted. One tree fell onto a house with such force it split the house in half. Two of the residents were inside the house at the time, but escaped without injury. One injury indirectly occurred as a result of this tornado, when a split branch high up in a tree fell the following day, striking a person.
In the cornfield at the end of the tornado track, cornstalks were found flattened in a criss-cross pattern. Farther into the cornfield, cornstalks were found to have not been impacted at all by the winds.
At a sporting goods store along the tornado track, a kayak inside the store was sucked out onto the road through a front window.
Golfball hail fell on Greenwood Street.
Penny to quarter size hail fell in Glastonbury.
