Thunderstorms developed across northern Maine during the late morning and afternoon in association with an upper level disturbance and cold pool aloft crossing the region. With the cold air aloft...the main impact of the thunderstorms was large hail. One particularly severe storm crossing the Saint John Valley produced 2.00 to 2.50 inch hail in the Fort Kent area...damaging many vehicles in Fort Kent. Hail in excess of 1.00 inch was common across northern Maine.
