| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An intense area of low pressure moved into the Great Lakes region on the evening of Thursday, December 20th. The storm's warm front extended into the Northeastern United States. Light precipitation occurred across the eastern New York during the overnight hours, with mainly rain for valley areas and light snow and mixed precipitation across the higher elevations. ||As the storm lifted into southern Canada, the storm's cold front approached the region on the morning of Friday, December 21st. Very strong east to southeast winds were present aloft ahead of this front as it moved towards eastern New York State. A few breaks in the clouds allowed for some of these strong winds to reach the surface across the Taconics and eastern portions of the Hudson Valley. Damage to trees and power lines occurred, mainly across portions of the Rensselaer, Columbia and Dutchess counties. Measured winds gusts reached up to 62 mph in Rensselaer County. These winds even caused some roof damage to a school in East Greenbush. The strong winds also caused scattered power outages, especially across the Taconic Region with 14,375 customers reported without power in Rensselaer County due to high winds, 3,782 customers in Columbia County and 1,175 customers in Dutchess County.||In addition, heavy rainfall associated with the front allowed for some minor river flooding across portions of the eastern Catskills. With the strong east-southeast flow, some minor tidal flooding occurred along the Hudson River which backed up into the Rondout Creek. The river and tidal flooding subsided by Friday afternoon.||The threat for heavy rain and strong winds ended with the passage of the cold front by midday on Friday the 21st. Winds switched to a westerly direction at lower speeds for the afternoon hours. |
