| Episode Narrative | A cold front pushed through southern New England in the evening. It was preceded by a strong upper level short wave, which tapped very unstable air to produce severe thunderstorms in CT and MA. An EF-1 tornado occurred in Tolland County in the late afternoon. |
| Event Narrative | An EF-1 tornado moved through a portion of Tolland County between 540 and 549 PM EDT (440 and 449 PM EST), with maximum estimated wind speeds of 85-90 mph. The tornado traveled in a southeast direction and had a discontinuous path. It first touched down on North River Road in Coventry, then went through the Skungamaug River Golf Club on Folly Lane (where it damaged many trees). A tree and wires were down on Merrow Road. It then lifted before touching down again near Brigham Tavern Road, where it then crossed U.S. Route 44 near Depot Road in Mansfield. The tornado lifted after going across a corn field near the intersection of Plains Road and Stafford Road (Route 32). The majority of the damage was to trees. Only very minor damage to buildings was noted, with a sign at a daycare center on Depot Road blown over. Scattered branches and wires were downed on Ravine Road, just beyond where the tornado had lifted. |
