The wider storm
A slow-moving cold front triggered the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area. An unstable environment with sufficient wind shear allows some storms to turn severe, producing damaging wind gusts and hail. One of the severe storms moved over the fairgrounds during the Great New York Fair leading to scattered damage on the grounds and one injury. Storms also led to the formation of a waterspout off of Lewis Point on Oneida Lake.
Began near Plainville (43.1700, -76.4500).
