A fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms brought large hail and damaging winds to parts of central and eastern Massachusetts.  The damage began in Worcester County, where thunderstorms dropped dime sized hail on the border of Sterling and Princeton, before moving into southern Middlesex County where large branches were downed in Wayland.Additional storms developed to the south, and caused additional damage in Norfolk and Plymouth Counties.  A wind gust to 71 mph was measured at the Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, and there were numerous reports of downed trees and wires in Milton and Quincy.  Quarter sized hail fell in Randolph, as observed by a Skywarn spotter, which lasted for about three minutes.  In Dedham, lightning struck a house and ignited a fire which damaged the roof.  Lightning also struck a two-story building in Weymouth causing minor damage.  As these storms progressed into Plymouth County, they downed trees and wires in Abington, Whitman, Hanson, Hanover, and Pembroke.  Dime sized hail was reported by a Skywarn spotter in Rockland.  In all, about 7,500 customers were left without power in Norfolk and Plymouth Counties after the storms moved through.

A high pressure system building across New England produced a northeast flow along the Delaware Beaches and increased both the number and intensity of rip currents along the beach. Dozens of rescues were performed because of the currents, but there were no reported injuries. In Bethany Beach, there were 25 water rescues alone during the morning high tide on the 25th. Dewey Beach restricted bathers to waist deep waters. As the high pressure system moved farther offshore, winds slowly turned to the southeast and then south on the weekend (the 27th and 28th). This reduced the intensity and number of rip currents.

Smoke, from many forest fires across the Nemiscau region of northern Quebec, became trapped under a subsidence inversion, and was transported south across western Massachussetts on the evening hours of July 5, to the late evening of July 7. The forest fires were sparked by exceptionally hot and dry weather over that part of Canada followed by an unsual amount of thunderstorm activity, resulting in many lightning strikes. The circulation between high pressure over Hudsons Bay and a low pressure off the Canadian Maritimes transported the smoke southward. The smoke obscured the sky, and even reduced surface visiblities to as low as one mile, especially on the early morning of July 7. Advisories were issued warning people with respiratory problems to remain indoors and all individuals to curb outside activity. No major problems were reported to the National Weather Service as a result of this smoke. By late Sunday, July 7, the low pressure weakened and moved further east, allowing the wind to back into more of a westerly direction, finally dissipating the smoke.
