The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
On the morning of September 22nd a rare early morning severe thunderstorm dropped quarter to half dollar size hail to parts of Rockingham County. A cold front was passing through New England during the morning, with a line of heavy rain showers and thunderstorms pushing across Southern New England. The northern extension of this line of storms moved across Southern New Hampshire, where a cluster of storms interacted with the sea breeze front. This enhanced the storms to become severe with damaging hail occurring over a half hour period. In addition, isolated wind damage was also reported further inland along the New Hampshire and Massachusetts border region.
The Boston radar (KBOX), 112 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 11:33 UTC.
