Intensifying low pressure tracked across northwest Maine to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence during the 1st...drawing a cold front across the region producing damaging winds. The high winds across northern and eastern Maine occurred in several phases. In the first phase...onshore southerly winds with a very strong low level jet affected Downeast areas during the morning. The most significant impacts with this phase generally occurred along the Downeast coast. Wind gusts along the coast generally ranged from 55 to 65 mph...with isolated gusts up to around 70 mph. The second phase occurred with winds associated with a convective line of showers along the cold front which also crossed the region during the morning. Wind gusts with the line of showers generally ranged from 40 to 50 mph. These winds affected much of the region. The third phase of the event occurred with west-southwest gradient winds which developed during the afternoon in the wake of the cold front and persisted into the late afternoon and evening. Wind gusts with this phase of the event generally ranged from 50 to 60 mph...with the greater impacts across northern and central portions of the region.
Power outages rapidly increased during the 1st...peaking at around 62000 customers across northern and eastern Maine. Power was not completely restored in some areas until later on the 3rd. Numerous trees were snapped or toppled along with broken branches. Utility poles were also toppled or damaged in many areas. The fallen trees and utility poles blocked many roads...leading to road closures and slowing the recovery process. Heavy rains occurred with the system leading to wet soils. The wet soil and changing wind directions likely contributed to the large number of toppled trees. Damage to the roof and siding of an elementary school was reported in Surry...along the Hancock county coast. A stained glass window was blown out of a church in Caribou...in northeast Aroostook county.
