Read the full account →A cold front triggered thunderstorms on the evening of June 25 across the Berkshires. These storms trained over northern Berkshire County, producing torrential rainfall with as much as four inches accumulating in a short time.
Read the full account →An area of low pressure lifting through the eastern Mid-Atlantic and deepening through southeast New England into the Gulf of Maine resulted in an area of heavy rains with amounts ranging 2 to 5 inches across coastal and interior New England on top of melting snows.
Read the full account →Warm air advection occurred in a very moist atmosphere, resulting in extremely heavy rain in Easthampton and Holyoke in western Massachusetts.
Read the full account →Torrential rainfall caused flash flooding in the Connecticut River Valley. Nearly 4 inches of rain fell in a few hours, causing significant urban flooding from Agawam to Northampton.
Read the full account →A powerful low pressure system tracked through eastern New York spreading heavy rain and strong winds across Southern New England. Heavy rain coinciding with spring snowmelt contributed to river flooding, especially along the Connecticut River.
