A very hot and unstable airmass was present during the late afternoon and evening of June 7th.  A weakness in a strong upper level ridge which was present across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley days before allowed for more moisture to move northward from the Gulf of Mexico.  This moisture interacted with heating to produce very isolated Thunderstorms across Northwest Louisiana.  These thunderstorms had high bases and once they collapsed...produced microburst type wind gusts of 70-80 mph.  The result was trees downed across some locations.  In addition...these thunderstorms were prolific lightning producers and there was one fatality from a lightning strike as a result.

An very deep anomolous upper low remained across the southeast United States.  Unseasonably cool air was present across the region.  Temperatures in the lower atmosphere were a good 20 degrees below normal for mid-May.  With the strong May sunshine, afternoon heating quickly led to widespread instability showers across much of middle Georgia, especially the eastern sections.  Several of these produced pea-sized hail, with a few becoming strong enough to produce penny-sized hail.  There was very little lightning observed with this activity and none of the activity reached severe limits.

Record Flooding occurred along the shores of Lake Champlain from mid-April to mid-June. NWS Flood Stages for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) gages on Lake Champlain at the ECHO Center in Burlington, VT and Rouses Point, NY are 100.0 feet and were surpassed on April 13th and finally receded below flood stage on June 18th.
Major flooding occurs with lake levels at or above 101.5 feet, which were surpassed from April 27th ��� June 8th as the lake level exceeded its flood stage of 100 feet from April 13th to June 18th. Further, the lake level exceeded it's previous flood of record of 102.1 feet on April 28th and crested at 103.26 feet on May 6th, before eventually receding below the previous record on June 5th.
In addition, strong south to southeast winds of 25 to 35 mph (greater at times) caused extensive damage due to 3 to 5 foot wave action as well as 0.5-1 foot  seiches on windward facing shores (New York and Vermont). These episodes occurred on April 23rd, May 2nd, May 22-23rd and June 1st. North to northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph caused extensive damage due to 2 to 4 foot waves and seiches around an half foot on windward shorelines (Vermont) on May 9-10th and June 1st-2nd.
These record lake levels were attributed to a combination of a 125-150 percent of normal winter snowfall, subsequent melting of that snow pack and an abnormally wet meteorological spring (March, April and May). Normal precipitation for meteorological spring within the Lake Champlain basin is 8.5-10 inches, yet observed precipitation was 16 to 26 inches (> 200 percent).
Serious and extensive flooding to dozens of lake shore roads, 500-1000 houses and dozens of businesses. In addition, the periodic closing of the Lake Champlain ferry from Grand Isle, Vermont to Plattsburgh, New York and the delayed opening of two additional ferry crossings.
Damage estimates will be incorporated into the May storm data, representing the crest of the flood waters, thus the time of the most significant impact and damage.
