The wider storm
June 21, 2024 was the fourth day in the stretch of hot, humid conditions though, unlike its predecessors, only featured such conditions in the lower Mid-Hudson Valley. Heat index (or feels like temperatures) reached between 95 and 100 degrees across eastern Ulster and Dutchess Counties.
A lingering surface trough and weak cold front tracked southward through eastern New York on June 21. Warm, moist antecedent conditions aided in providing a fairly unstable environment and requisite values of several severe weather parameters working in tandem with the aforementioned forcing mechanisms drove scattered severe thunderstorms in the Capital District and Mid-Hudson Valley.
Severe thunderstorms resulted in numerous reports of downed trees and wires in Ulster, Saratoga, Rensselaer, and Dutchess Counties.
Began near Brunswick Center (42.7400, -73.6300).
