Hail — Cortland, New York

2024-07-10 · near Homer, Cortland, New York

Wider weather episode

As a warm front lifted north across the area in the morning, central NY became primed with high humidity, shear, and instability. The remnants of Tropical System Beryl passed by to the north and east adding some extra spin to the atmosphere, so discrete supercells with damaging winds and tornadoes were the main concerns. As the system continued to move away, a cold front moved from west to east over the area during the evening and overnight hours leading to a line of additional thunderstorms, some severe again with damaging winds. Widespread tree and wire damage occurred across central NY with a microburst and tornado both surveyed.
