                                The storms produced quarter sized

                                1, a slow-moving cold front over 
                                the St Lawrence Valley drifted 
                                southeastward into upstate New York 
                                and central New England. The front 
                                interacted with a moist unstable air 
                                mass western New England to produce 
                                afternoon thunderstorms across 
                                southwestern New England. A few of

                                Early in the day on June 19, low 
                                pressure was over western Quebec 
                                Province with a cold front trailing 
                                southwestward to a weak wave over the 
                                northern Great Lakes, then southward 
                                to the central Mississippi Valley. 
                                The air over southwestern New England 
                                became more unstable during the day as 
                                a moderate west southwesterly breeze 
                                brought more moisture into New 
                                England. A few thunderstorms formed 
                                toward evening. One thunderstorm in

                                Trees and power lines downed over 
                                much of Northern Fairfield County. 
 
                                Powerful thunderstorms moved across 
                                Fairfield County producing wind 
                                damage. The storms were also prolific 
                                lightning producers.

                                Torrential rainfall from slow-moving 
                                thunderstorms caused flash flooding 
                                across almost all of Northern New 
                                Haven County during the late afternoon 
                                and early evening of June 2nd. Up to 
                                8 inches of rainfall occurred in less 
                                than 6 hours time in Waterbury. This 
                                caused numerous roads to be washed out 
                                and many water rescues to take place. 
                                The extent of the flooding prompted 
                                the Waterbury Mayor to declare a state 
                                of emergency. The hardest hit areas 
                                in Waterbury were Bristol Street, 
                                Highland Avenue, Watertown Avenue, 
                                South Main Street, and Charles Street. 
                                A rain gage measured 7.40 inches of 
                                rainfall in Waterbury.

                                Slow moving thunderstorms with 
                                torrential rain caused flooding of 
                                numerous roadways and streams in the 
                                northern half of New Castle County. In

                                of rain across southwestern parts of 
                                Sussex County during the morning of 
                                the 25th. This caused extensive 
                                roadway, field and stream flooding. 
                                Hardest hit was the Seaford and Blades 
                                area where every major roadway was 
                                flooded and closed, shopping mall 
                                parking lots became lakes. Evacuations

                                occurred. No serious injuries were 
                                reported. The flooding caused the 
                                Nanticoke River to exceed its banks 
                                the night of the 25th. The Nanticoke 
                                River at Bridgeville was above its

                                caused minor flooding along the

                                A nearly stationary frontal system

                                caused flash flooding of smaller 
                                streams and then flooding along the

                                occurred during this event. Major

                                experienced June 26 due to the 
                                flooding. MARC Commuter rail

                                operate, and flooding in underground 
                                tunnels forced much of the Washington 
                                Metro rail to close. At one point,

                                against trees due to the fast flowing 
                                high water. The Park Service reported

                                in September 2003. Severe erosion 
                                occurred along park roads and trails. 
                                Numerous trees were downed all around 
                                the park area. Many roads were closed 
                                for several days around the park. 
 
                                This storm significantly contributed 
                                to June 2006 being the wettest ever 
                                in Washington DC. The monthly rainfall

                                positioned the area on the north and 
                                east side of the storm. Northeast 
                                Florida experienced periods of 
                                sustained tropical storm force winds

                                13th around 122. The lowest mean sea 
                                level readings across north Florida 
                                ranged from 1006.1 mb in Gainesville

                                Maximum sustained winds recorded were 
                                40 knots/46 mph at Craig Airfield in

                                reported sustained winds of 17-40 
                                knots (20-46 mph) with gusts ranging 
                                from 30-47 knots (35-54 mph). Many 
                                trees were downed and some structural 
                                damage occurred over the Suwannee 
                                River Valley. Scattered trees and 
                                power lines were blown down across 
                                the remainder of northeast Florida. 
                                Most damaged occurred from winds from 
                                midday July 13th into the early 
                                evening hours. 
 
                                Wave heights reached 6-9 ft across the

                                observed was at the St. Augustine

                                Rainfall totals across Florida ranged 
                                from 2 to 6 inches. The heaviest 
                                rainfall 5.60 inches in Hedges, 
                                Florida (Nassau County). Some minor 
                                temporary flooding of flood prone 
                                occurred, but the rainfall was 
                                beneficial to the area helping it 
                                recover from a minor drought period. 
                                River flooding was not a concern. 
 
                                Two confirmed tornado touchdowns 
                                occurred, one near Jacksonville Beach 
                                with minor damage done to a water
