Thunderstorm Wind in Schenectady County, New York

A tree was downed on Putnam Road in the Town of Rotterdam.

A warm and humid air mass ahead of an approaching cold front brought a couple of rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms across the region, mainly along and north of Interstate 90. A few individual thunderstorms became severe across the Lake George Saratoga region during the early afternoon hours before the main line of thunderstorms progressed from west to east from the Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley to the Hudson River during the late afternoon and early evening hours. There were a couple of reports of hail, but these storms brought mostly damaging winds with downed trees and power lines, a couple of which fell onto homes or vehicles. Lightning also struck a house, resulting in a fire near West Glens Falls. Minor flooding occurred across southern Herkimer County, near Poland.
