The wider storm

A Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) developed in Ontario and tracked south into New York in the early morning hours on Sunday, June 22. This system eventually tracked through the Western Adirondacks into the western Mohawk Valley, inflicting fairly widespread wind damage across southern Herkimer County. Numerous reports were relayed to NWS Albany of tree and wire damage that ultimately led to the blockage and closure of numerous roadways. Trees were also reported down on sheds, fences, and even on a mobile home (in the town of Schuyler) but no injuries were reported.

Began near East Frankfort (42.9800, -75.0700).
