The wider storm
A mesoscale convective system (MCS) and an upper-level wave moved through the region triggering widespread showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. These features moved into a high instability environment with sufficient shear in place and plenty of moisture, resulting in a ripe environment for a severe weather outbreak. Damaging wind gusts were the main concern though some storms also had tornadoes. Widespread tree and wire damage occurred across Central New York with two microbursts and two tornadoes surveyed making it one of the most active days of the month.
Began near Slaterville Spgs (42.4200, -76.3500).
