Wider weather episode

On July 10, 2024, most of western and central New York were impacted by the remnants of tropical cyclone Beryl. The event brought every type of warm season severe hazard, including 10 tornadoes across the entire state, numerous reports of wind damage, hail and significant flash flooding.

As the remnants of Beryl approached the region, a warm front out ahead of/associated with the system provided one of the main focus points for the severe weather. The front, draped from west to east across the state, generally along/near I90 remained nearly stationary through the day, moving only slowly north. Instability increased greatly along and south of the front. With the system being of tropical origin, it was highly dynamic with strong shear, especially along and just north of the warm front across the area. A passing mid-level trough during the event also helped to increase the severe potential for the day.

Wind damage from thunderstorms was widespread across the area, mainly from near Lake Erie, northeast to Rochester and the northern Finger Lakes, to the north country. Damage near/along both Lake Erie & Lake Ontario was observed during the event.
