| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During the day on May 29th, a warm front lifted northward across eastern New York. Although the day began cloudy, some breaks of sun started to occur by early afternoon. At the same time, a potent upper level disturbance over Ontario started to approach the region and a strong jet streak was located just to the north. With a moist southerly flow moving into the region at the surface, it became rather humid as well. ||With all these ingredients coming together, thunderstorms developed across western and central New York by mid afternoon and they began to spread eastward into eastern New York by the late afternoon and evening hours. Many of the thunderstorms organized into a strong squall line, producing widespread wind damage, especially across northern portions of the Capital Region and in the mid-Hudson Valley. These thunderstorms produced a significant amount of lightning, as well, which in combination with the widespread wind damage, led to a significant number of power outages across the area. Many schools in the Capital Region were delayed or closed on Thursday, May 30th as a result of the power outages.||In addition, a few supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of the line. Three tornadoes were spawned by these supercell storms across the Capital Region and Schoharie County. The strongest tornado was rated EF2 by a National Weather Service storm survey, and tracked on the ground for 13 miles across eastern Montgomery and Schenectady Counties. One injury occurred as a result of this tornado, as a man was pulled out of a barn by the force of the wind. Significant damage to trees occurred, along with damage to high tension power line towers and roofs blown off houses. The other tornadoes were rated EF1, were rather short-lived and mainly caused damage to trees.||With the region already rather saturated from repeated thunderstorms over the past week, the additional heavy rainfall that occurred caused flash flooding in some areas. This caused roads to be closed due to being impassable by flowing water.||Thunderstorms pushed east of the area by around midnight, ending the threat of severe weather. |
