Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the day on Sunday, July 7th, a warm, southerly flow around a Bermuda High Pressure area allowed plenty of moisture to stream into eastern New York. This allowed for an unstable air mass to be in place across the region. As an upper level shortwave moved from the Ohio Valley towards the Northeast, scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening hours. A few of these thunderstorms became severe, producing large hail and damaging winds. Hail reached the size of golf balls across portions of Columbia County. During one of the thunderstorms, a man was struck by lightning on a lake beach at a state park in Columbia County. He went to cardiac arrest, and later died.||In addition, the very moist air mass allowed these thunderstorms to produce very heavy rainfall in a short period of time. This led to flash flooding in a few locations, including portions of the Mohawk Valley that were still cleaning up from flash flooding earlier in the month and in late June. ||Thunderstorm activity diminished by the evening hours due to the loss of daytime heating, ending the threat for additional severe storms or flash flooding.
