A weak area of low pressure traveling along a stationary front, draped across NY and VT, embedded in an unseasonably warm and unstable air mass resulted in a series of thunderstorms that moved across Vermont during the late afternoon and evening. Some of these thunderstorms produced damaging winds of downed trees and utility lines.

The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
A weak area of low pressure traveling along a stationary front, draped across NY and VT, embedded in an unseasonably warm and unstable air mass resulted in a series of thunderstorms that moved across Vermont during the late afternoon and evening. Some of these thunderstorms produced damaging winds of downed trees and utility lines.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 11, 1:45 PM EST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT 245 PM EDT WED SEP 11 2013 .SYNOPSIS... IT WILL BE HOT AND HUMID TODAY WITH A THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BRINGING MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. IT WILL BE MUCH COOLER WITH LINGERING SHOWERS FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING DRY AND COOL WEATHER TO THE NORTH COUNTRY THIS WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... AS OF 244 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 521 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE NORTH COUNTRY UNTIL 10PM TONIGHT. GOING FORECAST OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT ON TRACK. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...TEMPS IN THE M80S-L90S ALREADY WITH DEWPTS IN THE U60S-L70S RESULTING IN HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE M90S. SW FLOW DOWNSLOPING IN THE LEE OF THE ADKS HAVE INCREASED TEMPS...MOST NOTABLE AT KPBG INCREASING 7 DEGREES IN AN HR. CONVECTION TO THE N IN SRN QUEBEC AND ERN ONTARIO HAS STARTED...ALSO TO THE SW...CONVECTION OVER PA AND WV DEVELOPING AND WILL GRADUALLY MOVE NE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WARM FRONT TO THE NORTH WITH HAZY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS THIS MORNING AS DEWPTS HAVE RISEN TO THE LOWER 70S. WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED INTO EARLY AFTERNOON AND 850 MB TEMPERATURES NEAR 20C...EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 90S IN THE VALLEYS. S-SW FLOW OVER THE REGION CONTINUES TO USHER IN WARM MOIST AIR...COMBINED WITH SUNSHINE INCREASES INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND SHEAR FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER WITH LIFTED INDICES OF -5C TO -8C... SBCAPE VALUES OF 2000-2500 J/KG AND 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 30-40 KNOTS. THERE ARE ALSO SOME SLIGHT HEIGHT FALLS THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF DEEPENING TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. BUT THE PROBLEM IS LACK OF A NOTICEABLE TRIGGER WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FORCING. THERE ARE SUBTLE BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION TO THE NORTH AND SOME EVIDENCE OF WEAK PRE- FRONTAL TROUGH...WHICH COMBINED WITH DIFFERENTIAL HEATING MAY BE ENOUGH FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. AREA OF MORE ORGANIZED STORMS LIKELY TO BE IN THE SLV AND ADKS WITH STRONGEST SHEAR NEAR WARM FRONT..SO AREAS N AND W. ELSEWHERE...PULSE/MULTICELL STORMS PSBL TO MOVE FROM SE TO WNW. ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 531 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...WARM AND MUGGY AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS TO OUR WEST OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER LEVEL JET NEARS THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE FURTHER AS UPPER LEVEL JET DYNAMICS BECOME MORE FAVORABLE AS TROUGH CONTINUES TO DEEPEN WHILE MOVING INTO THE NORTHEAST. IN ADDITION...STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION DURING THE MORNING AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.6 TO 2 INCHES...IT ALL ADDS UP TO THREAT FOR SOME HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS COMBINED WITH CORFIDI VECTORS SUPPORTING POSSIBLE TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD LEAD TO SOME FLOODING. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST OF FORECAST AREA. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN STORMS OR WITH TRAINING CELLS. DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY...RESULTING IN CLOUDS AND THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. IT WILL BE BREEZY AND MUCH COOLER WITH HIGHS NOT MUCH ABOVE THE EARLY MORNING LOWS...IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 122 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH WILL HAVE BROUGHT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE PREVIOUS 2 DAYS WILL CONTINUE A SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION ACROSS THE BTV CWA ON SATURDAY. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PRODUCE STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH WILL KEEP SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AROUND THOUGH MOSTLY ACROSS EASTERN VERMONT AND MAINLY IN THE MORNING HOURS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WITH CLEAR AND COOL CONDITIONS EXPECTED. BY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ATTENDING COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY...PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. CURRENT PROGGED MOISTURE IS FAIRLY WEAK SO THINKING PRECIP WILL BE SHOWERY IN NATURE WITH NOT A WHOLE LOT OF QPF. OF MORE INTEREST THOUGH...AT LEAST FOR WINTER LOVERS LIKE ME IS THE PROGGED 850MB TEMPS FALLING TO ZERO TO -2C MIDDAY MONDAY. COULD WE SEE OUR FIRST SNOWFLAKES AT THE SUMMITS? STAY TUNED. FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING TO THE NORTHEAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD THROUGH WEDNESDAY. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE VERY SEASONAL...JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 60S...AND LOWS IN THE 40S. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING... BRIEFLY REDUCING CIGS/VSBY TO IFR/MVFR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HARD TO PINPOINT TSRA AT ANY TERMINAL AT THIS TIME SO HAVE JUST INCLUDE VCTS FOR NOW THROUGH 06Z. BRIEF BREAK IN WX FROM 06Z-09Z WITH SOME PATCHY MVFR BR LIKELY...BEFORE A COLD FRONT ENTERS THE REGION FROM THE WEST SPREADING MVFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN FROM KMSS AT 09Z TO KBTV BY 12Z. MVFR RAIN THEN CONTINUES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD WITH PERIOD OF IFR VSBY POSSIBLE. OUTLOOK 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY... 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY...IFR/MVFR LIKELY IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS A COLD FRONTAL PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. 12Z FRIDAY THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY...MIX OF MVFR/VFR WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTS TRACKS THROUGH THE NORTHEAST. 12Z SATURDAY THROUGH 00Z MONDAY...VFR UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. 00Z MONDAY THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH SCATTERED MVFR RAIN SHOWERS AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHEAST. && .CLIMATE...
