A slow moving cold front allowed for widespread thunderstorm development on June 30th. MUCAPE values of 2000-3000 J/kg with PWATs near 2 allowed for thunderstorms to produce heavy rainfall with rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour. These thunderstorms moved through the Lower Hudson Valley and Connecticut resulting in 1 to 2 inches of rain, most of which fell over a one to two hour period. This resulted in localized flash flooding.
