Rapidly intensifying low pressure lifting northeast across the Gulf of Maine and Downeast Maine produced strong winds across the region. Across Washington and Hancock counties strong onshore winds developed in advance of the low. Wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph were common near the Downeast coast...with some gusts to around 60 mph reported on coastal
islands. Scattered thunderstorms also crossed the region in advance of the low and associated cold front. An interval of strong northwest winds in the wake of the exiting low affected central and southern portions of Piscataquis county. Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph were common across central and southern portions of Piscataquis county...with some estimated gusts in excess of 50 mph. The combination of wet ground and leaves still on the trees contributed to trees being snapped or uprooted and broken branches.
