| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A frontal system moved through southern New England with the warm front moving through first and increasing low level moisture. Then the cold front moved through providing a lifting mechanism for showers and thunderstorms to develop. High levels of moisture contributed to heavy downpours that resulted in flash flooding in Rhode Island and portions of Massachusetts. All of this coupled with strong wind shear (turning of the winds with height) over southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island provided the perfect environment for a tornado to form. ||This particular tornado began as a waterspout over Narragansett Bay and traveled east-northeast reaching land over the southern portion of Warren, Rhode Island. The tornado continued for 4.2 miles into Swansea, Massachusetts over a mostly continuous track. Most of the damage sustained was to trees which fell on power lines and houses. This tornado was rated by a National Weather Service damage survey team as an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A National Weather Service Damage Survey team concluded that an EF-1 tornado affected portions of eastern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. A waterspout was observed from Barrington Beach and moved to just off Rumstick Point in Barrington, Rhode Island. This waterspout moved onto land over the southern portion of Warren near the Warren/Bristol line near Hanley Farm Road. It then continued eastward through the Touisset Highlands section of Warren and into the Ocean Grove section of Swansea.||The waterspout was first observed just before 4:00PM EDT. The tornado hit Warren at 4:05PM EDT and Swansea at 4:10PM EDT. No injuries were reported. |
