Downed tree on west Olive Street.

The wider storm

A well-defined shortwave trough and embedded MCV from the previous night's severe MCS tracked towards the region. Strong heating allowed for the area to destabilize, with MLCAPE values around 1000-2000 J/kg. This combined with 30 kt of Effective Bulk Shear allowed for thunderstorms to become severe and produce damaging wind gusts across southeast NY.

Began near Island Park (40.5900, -73.6800).
