The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
A secondary cold front moved into a slightly unstable airmass across VT. A few thunderstorms developed along this front with one isolated thunderstorm that traveled along the international border with Canada. This storm intensified near Jay Peak and caused isolated wind damage near Lowell.
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 Jul 25, 9:47 AM EST, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 1047 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue through mid- day as a cold front crosses the North Country. A few stronger cells will be possible, but thunderstorms look to be a good bet across northern Vermont for the afternoon. In addition, gusty winds will continue throughout the afternoon. A pattern shift to drier and cooler weather is still expected by evening and will continue through Wednesday. The next system looks to arrive Thursday through Friday before drier weather returns for the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 1041 AM EDT Monday...The surface cold front is consolidating into a line of showers and thunderstorms as it moves into the Champlain Valley. There is enough instability out there to support gusts in excess of 40 mph especially across the lake waters. Clouds have broken out ahead of the line with shear keeping the anvils and developing cloud cover from cooling the environment. As a result, we could see CAPE increasing such that a few severe cells will be possible this afternoon mainly across northern Vermont. CAMs do show a second area of stronger forcing through central Vermont this afternoon, so could see more development along the southern end of the boundary as well. Previous Discussion...The main area of heavy rainfall has exited into New Hampshire with stratiform precipitation falling across southern and central Vermont at this hour. The threat for flooding has largely ended. Otherwise, the surface cold front has become apparent on radar with a line of showers moving through northern New York. These will progress eastward through the day and likely develop into hit/miss thunderstorms for central and eastern Vermont. A few of these showers may be heavy, but speed of cells will largely preclude the threat for flooding. Previous Discussion...Moderate to heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms continue across the North Country early this morning. So far, anywhere from 0.5 to 2 inches of rain have fallen with the highest totals across northern St. Lawrence County. Flash flood warnings were issued for this area during the early morning hours; be aware of possible ponding of water lingering through the morning. Rain will continue through early afternoon with an additional 0.5 to 1 inch possible. The upper low and associated cold front are still expected to swing through the North Country mid-day bringing renewed chances for thunderstorms across eastern Vermont, especially mid- morning through the early afternoon. By evening, shower activity will come to an end as a much drier airmass advects into the region. Temperatures will also feel noticeably cooler thanks to the frontal passage with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Breezy conditions will persist throughout the day as deep-layer mixing is achieved and a lingering 850mb jet of 30- 40 knots remains overhead. This will result in wind gusts of 20-30 mph throughout the afternoon. Cool, quiet weather is then expected Monday night through Tuesday. Overnight lows will be in the 50s with highs on Tuesday in the mid 70s to low 80s. Weather will remain dry as high pressure moves into the region. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 359 AM EDT Monday...High pressure will remain in control Tuesday night through Wednesday providing pleasant weather for the North Country. Overnight lows Tuesday into Wednesday will again be in the 50s with highs on Wednesday in the upper 70s to mid 80s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 328 PM EDT Sunday...Towards the end of the week, will have a potentially impactful system for the Thursday through Friday timeframe. Dry weather will continue for Wednesday as high pressure begins to slide east of the region. On Wednesday night we'll have a frontal system approaching from the west as a low pressure system lifts well north of the region up into Canada. Better chance for showers and embedded thunderstorms will be on Thursday as the fropa takes place, with showers ending Thursday night. Still a lot of time to look closer at the details, but at this time looks like we could at least see some thunderstorms on Thursday, and we'll continue to monitor potential for severe weather. Will have a strong upper level jet crossing the region, along with upper level shortwave energy. Drier weather will return for next weekend with another ridge of surface high pressure building into the region once again. && .AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 12Z Tuesday...Showers and thunderstorms are currently moving eastward through the forecast area resulting in occasional bouts of MVFR visibility due to heavy rain. In their wake, ceilings are briefly dropping to IFR. However, winds are expected to increase out of the west-southwest with gusts up to 20-30 knots. This will help lift out low ceilings and usher in a return to VFR conditions as a drier airmass settles across the region. Conditions will gradually improve to VFR at all sites after 15z Monday, and winds will veer to westerly. Outlook... Tuesday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Tuesday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: VFR. NO SIG WX. Wednesday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA. Thursday: VFR. Chance SHRA, Slight chance TSRA. Thursday Night: VFR. Slight chance SHRA. Friday: VFR. Chance SHRA. && .BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VT...None.
