An unseasonably hot and humid airmass moved into the region allowing for instability values more typical for summer.  In addition, a pre-frontal trough approached New Hampshire ahead of the main surface cold front located to the west in Quebec Province. A strong jet streak aloft allowed for strong 0-6sm shear profiles.  These ingredients led to organized linear convection by the afternoon hours with numerous reports of straight line wind damage across the state.
