| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On July 16th, a strong upper atmospheric area of low pressure was located north of the Great Lakes in south central Canada. In addition, a significant mid-level shortwave and associated surface low moved across the eastern Great Lakes, while a warm front and subsequent cold front swept across northern New York and Vermont during the afternoon and evening.||Numerous thunderstorms developed and moved across Vermont, in a moderate to strong unstable atmosphere during the afternoon and evening. In addition there were a few super-cell thunderstorms that produced very large hail, up to 3.3 inches in diameter in Westford (Chittenden county) with numerous reports of damage to vehicles, homes, crop and livestock and a brief EF-0 tornado along the Williamstown-Chelsea town line (Orange county). ||The measured 3.3 inch diameter hail in Westford, also had a circumference of 6.8 inches and has been determined by the State Climate Extremes Committee as the largest recorded hail stone in Vermont. |
