Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
An upper level disturbance and associated cold pool provided enough lift and instability to produce showers and thunderstorms. In addition, there was enough shear to sustain these thunderstorms. These storms produced damaging wind and some large hail across portions of southern New Hampshire and northeastern Massachusetts.

NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 23, 2:01 PM EST, 39 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 301 PM EDT SAT JUN 23 2012 .SYNOPSIS... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A BRIEF RETURN TO DRY WEATHER TONIGHT AND SUN. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE SUN NIGHT AND MON...WITH SEASONAL TEMPS CONTINUING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... 200 PM UPDATE... FORECAST IS GENERALLY ON TRACK. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY SO HAVE ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. OTHERWISE BL WINDS ARE STARTING TO MIX OUT WEST AS DEWPOINTS BEGIN TO DROP INTO THE MID 50S ACROSS WESTERN MASS AND NH. THIS WILL INHIBIT CELL STRENGTHEN AS THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT AS JUICY. BESIDE THE DIURNAL STORMS OFF FROM THE BERKSHIRES...BELIEVE MAIN ACTION WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL COLD POOL MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGION AS NOTED ACROSS UPSTATE NY AND VT. 1030 AM UPDATE... UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CURRENTLY BATCH OF PRECIP OFF THE EAST COASTAL WATERS FROM LINGERING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OFFSHORE. SKIES HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO CLEAR ACROSS THE THE CWA LATE THIS MORNING. NOTICED IN CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY THAT A CU FIELD HAS ALREADY STARTED TO DEVELOP AND ECHOES ARE FORMING ALONG THE ADIRONDACKS PER LATEST RADAR IMAGE. TEMPS HAVE ALREADY BEEN A TAD TO LOW FOR THE MORNING HOURS SO HAVE TWEAKED THEM A BIT. OTHERWISE EXPECT CU FIELD TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS MORNING. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS INCREASE DUE TO DAY TIME HEATING WITH CAPE VALUES IN THE 2000 J/KG...WITH SHEAR VALUES REACHING NEAR 40 KTS. BELIEVE STORMS WILL EVOLVE AROUND 17/18Z AND LAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. BEST AREAS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ACROSS NH AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL HILLS AS INSTABILITY IS GREATEST IN THIS REGION. COLD POOL ALOFT FROM 850MB UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE DOWN FROM VT TOWARDS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...THIS COLD POOL WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR HAIL THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE EXPECT GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL AS PWAT VALUES ARE STILL NEAR 1-1.5 INCHES. SOME CONCERN WITH THE SEA BREEZE INTERACTION AND IF STORMS WILL BE TRAINING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE...WILL HAVE TO WAIT ONCE STORMS BEGIN. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... SUNDAY... UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL LIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE MARITIMES ALLOWING FOR SLIGHT RIDGING TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY. DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL DIMINISH ANY DIURNAL STORMS. SOME SCT CU MAY FORM DURING PEAK HEATING...BUT THAT WILL RESIDE CLOSE TOT HE BERKSHIRES. OTHERWISE EXPECT A PLEASANT SUMMER DAY. SUN NIGHT... ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO DEVELOPING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS PRETTY STACKED SYSTEM WILL BRING MOISTURE OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. EXPECT PRECIP TO BEGIN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. MODEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND GOOD DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM...WILL ALLOW FOR SOME OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS. PWAT VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 1-1.5 INCHES SO HEAVY RAINFALL IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. LOW PROB THAT THEY WILL BE SEVERE. OVERCAST SKIES WILL KEEP TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S OVERNIGHT. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT... * COLD FRNT THRU THE FCST AREA WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS * HEAVY RAIN AND NUISANCE FLOODING PSBL * GRADUAL CLEARING INTO THE EVNG ALL FCST GUIDANCE ON TRACK FOR A SFC COLD FRNT TO SWING ACROSS NEW ENGLAND MUCH OF THE DAY MONDAY...EXITING OFFSHORE AROUND MIDNIGHT TUESDAY. HEAVIEST OF RAINS EXPECTED DURING THE MORNING INTO MIDDAY PD...TAPERING EWD INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE DAY WITH THE MID-LVL DRY AIR PUNCH WRAPPING INTO THE REAR OF THE SYS. LOOKING AT AN OVRNGT PD OF CLEARING UNDER MODEST NW FLOW WHICH DO BELIEVE WILL USHER DRIER AIR AT THE SFC AND KEEP FOG AT A MINIMUM. CONCERNING IMPACTS...MODEST SFC TO MID-LVL MOISTURE TRANSPORT VIA S/SW FLOW IS EVIDENT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRNT. PRIMARY LOBE OF SHRTWV ENERGY DIVING SEWD WITH THE MAIN CLOSED UPR LVL LOW FROM THE HUDSON BAY RGN WILL ENHANCE HEIGHT FALLS AND UPR LVL DIFLUENCE ALONG THE SFC COLD FRNT THRU NEW ENGLAND. THUS STRONG DEEP LYR ASCENT AND FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IS LIKELY...WARRANTING CONTINUED LIKELY POPS. FCST GUIDANCE PWATS AVERAGE 1.5 INCHES ALONG A SW TO NE AXIS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRNT. CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IS CHALLENGING. BULK SHEAR PARALLEL TO THE SFC COLD FRNT SUGGESTS PARALLEL STRATIFORM RAINS ALONG THE COLD FRNT. THE TIMING OF THE SYS IS EARLY...SO AM SKEPTICAL AS TO POTENTIAL INSTABILITY AND WHETHER CONVECTION CAN BE ORGANIZED AND/OR SFC BASED. LED TO BELIEVE THE OUTCOME WILL BE A LINE OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAINS AND SCTD THUNDERSTORMS /NOTHING SEVERE/. THE QUICK NATURE OF THE SYS LIMITS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING... BUT CANT RULE OUT SOME NUISANCE FLOODING OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY... * OCCLUSION SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD * DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND PSBL THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY TUES * HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO THE RGN LATE WED INTO THURS WHILE LONG-TERM FCST GUIDANCE SPLITS OVER OUTCOMES IN THE TROPICS... THERE IS A CONSISTENT TREND IN THE MARITIME FLOW EVOLUTION FOR THE PD...WITH THE ECMWF EXHIBITING BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. STRONG CLOSED LOW GRADUALLY LIFTS NEWD AND OUT OF THE RGN AGAINST A STOUT WRN ATLANTIC RIDGE. AN OVERALL DRY PD IS ANTICIPATED WITH SEASONABLE CONDITIONS...YET CYCLONIC FLOW COUPLED WITH WELL-MIXED LOW LVLS /COLD POOL ALOFT/ DURING THE DAY WILL YIELD SHOWERS AND PSBL THUNDERSTORMS /PRIMARILY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NRN INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND/. BETTER ACTIVITY WILL BE ON TUE...LESSER ON WED...NONE ON THURS AS SFC HIGH PRES AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW BUILDS INTO THE RGN. CHC POPS WITH CLOUDS DISSIPATING AS THEY LIFT NWD WITH TIME ON TUE...SLGT CHCS ON WED. PREVAILING WLY FLOW...BUT BECOMING LGT WITH TIME AS SFC HIGH PRES BUILDS EWD WED NGT. SEA-BREEZES MAY BE PSBL LATE WED DURING THE DAY...EXPECTED THURS. FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY... * ANOTHER SYNOPTIC SYS PSBL FRI INTO SAT * AN IMPROVING PD INTO SUN THERE IS AN APPARENT TREND OF AN INITIAL WARM FRNT ACROSS THE FCST RGN FRIDAY WITH A FOLLOW-UP COLD FRNT SATURDAY. A PERIOD OF WARMER TEMPS IS PLAUSIBLE AS THE THERMAL AXIS FROM THE DEEP S IS ADVECTED NELY AHEAD OF THE SYNOPTIC SYS DUE TO EXIT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. STILL A FAIR AMNT OF UNCERTAINTY...BUT WILL LEAN MORESO TOWARDS THE ECMWF. AT FIRST GUESS...COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEAK HIGH PRES IS EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...

ANY SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL DIMINISH BY AROUND 02Z-03Z. MAY SEE LOCAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS. EXPECT CLEARING TO ARRIVE FROM N-S...THOUGH LOW CLOUDS MAY LINGER ALONG THE COAST. MODERATE PROB OF FOG DEVELOPMENT. SUNDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR. INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. SUNDAY NIGHT...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.

EXPECT BRIEF MVFR- IFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. KBDL TAF...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT. BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN ANY SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. LOW TO MOD PROB OF FOG DEVELOPING TONIGHT. OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

EXPECT WINDS AND SEAS TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER...COULD POTENTIALLY SEE A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING THIS EVENING. EXPECT THIS TO PUSH OFFSHORE BY AROUND 04Z-05Z. PATCHY FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH REDUCED VSBYS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A NICE DAY FOR BOATING...THOUGH NOTING S WIND GUSTS MAY INCREASE TO 20 KT DURING THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE EASTERN WATERS. APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY NIGHT WILL HELP INCREASE SEAS TO 5FT...SO SCA MAY BE NEEDED. OUTLOOK...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...
