A frontal boundary that had been stalled over the mid-Atlantic had lifted north of the region by the morning of June 29. Later that day and into the evening, the front once again approached, this time as a strong cold front, as low pressure tracked through New England and began to intensify offshore in the Gulf of Maine. The combination of strong frontal forcing and a warm, unstable environment ahead of the front led to widespread severe thunderstorms developing. Numerous reports of damaging wind, as well as some hail, were received in association with these storms.
