The hot, humid environment contributed to the development of a cluster of thunderstorms that impact eastern New York in the evening hours of July 15th. Two broken lines of convection became severe in nature, leading to numerous reports of tree and wire damage in the Eastern Catskills and Mohawk Valley in addition to a few isolated reports in the Upper-Hudson Valley.
