Hail in Seneca County, New York

A low pressure system moving north of the area brought periods of rain Wednesday morning (13th), followed by scattered showers as a cold front approached. Partial clearing during the afternoon allowed for modest destabilization across western portions of the area. Combined with wind shear and unstable temperature lapse rates, thunderstorms organized along the front as they moved east through the evening. A few storms produced isolated damaging wind gusts and small hail. The strong gusts and small hail resulted in some crop damage according to a state emergency declaration, though estimated costs were unknown.
