The wider storm

On Wednesday April 15th, a southwest flow pattern sent a mid-level shortwave disturbance into central NY, creating a favorable environment for severe thunderstorms. The combination of instability, strong wind shear, and ample moisture ultimately led to severe thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening. The strongest storms produced estimated damaging wind gusts of 50 knots knocking down trees and wires.
