Starting to fall apart the further east it comes. How much do the cool ocean temps with this southerly breeze add to a more stable environment as you get east of 84?

The S-SW flow is so deep today that it can probably pull a stabilizing effect in from the waters off RI and down by the Islands.  Ideally an offshore flow is best but the flow today I think has been established for enough hours that no doubt at elevated levels you've got air parcels from the Atlantic reaching well north.  Notice how as soon as the line cleared east of ORH the weakening really began.  West of there you had upstream flow mostly crossing land other than LI Sound briefly.

ughh I hate YouTube. They always changing stuff. Video was not processing for some reason…or taking forever so I deleted and am trying again 

[DavisStraight]

Was sunny at my house but I could see dark clouds west, I drove 3 miles west to the store and it was a torrential downpour, when I came home the ground was barely wet.

For May 3rd this is excellent.  Not often you have this kind of widespread svr wx in early May in SNE.

I DID GET IT ON VIDEO!!!!! Uploading now. The entire video is like 15 minutes long but thankfully it happens within the first few minutes. Please excise some of the shakiness early on, I was relocating the camera and holding with one hand because my other hand was otherwise occupied. 

We get it, you really like severe but did we need this much detail???

Not surprised, that circle DIT drew is right over Palmer heading to Hardwick, probably then the Brookfields.

Mini derecho. It started in the CT/ NY line and moved ENE. You could see the bow the whole way up past ORH

holy shit the thunderstorm that came through earlier... it was raining sideways

[Baroclinic Zone]

Quick 5min downpour.

Trimmed the video. It happens about 40 seconds in. Like I said, I apologize for the camera disruptions early, I was relocating the camera. Still not sure if this is a gustnado or actual tornado. But whatever it was, I was at the end of its life as where I was at ended the damage.
