| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On the morning of Saturday, August 13th, a warm front lifted northward across the region. This allowed a very warm and excessively humid air mass to be in place over the area. As temperatures rose through the 80s and into the 90s, dewpoints were unusually high in the mid to upper 70s. By the afternoon hours, this produced heat index values over 100 degrees in many valley areas, with some spots in southern Litchfield County seeing heat index values over 105 degrees.||Ahead of an advancing cold front, an organized line of thunderstorms moved from west to east across all of eastern Upstate New York late in the day. This line of thunderstorms crossed northwestern Connecticut during the late evening hours, producing damaging winds.||In addition to the gusty winds, the thunderstorms also produced a significant amount of cloud-to-ground lightning. Numerous power outages were reported throughout the region. ||Thunderstorms ended with the passage of the cold front during the overnight hours. |
