A strong low pressure system to the west ushered in unseasonably warm and moist air to northwestern Connecticut on the 15th. A line of thunderstorms formed along an approaching cold front during the late evening hours, resulting in several reports of wind damage. A couple of short swaths of intense damage occurred resulting in numerous downed trees, likely from microbursts, around Roxbury, Harwinton, and Litchfield. Lingering power outages resulted in the closure of Litchfield schools the following day.
