episode_narrativeOn Monday morning of April 9th, a nearly stationary front extended from the southern Great Lakes to the northern Middle Atlantic coast. A wave of low pressure developed along this frontal boundary, and traveled east into southeast New York by late Monday afternoon. In response to this wave, the stationary front lifted north during Monday afternoon into southern New York State. This allowed warm, moist and unstable air to usher into portions of southeast New York.As a cold front approached from the west, scattered thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon. Some thunderstorms became severe and produced dime-sized hail early Monday evening across southern Nassau County. Frequent lightning and heavy downpours also accompanied these thunderstorms. Lightning was responsible for destroying a home in Rye New York on Thistle Lane at approximately 9:30 PM EDT. The lightning reportedly struck a floodlight located in a tree adjacent to the home, and then traveled through the wires and into the walls of the house. This triggered a fire, which subsequently destroyed the home. The thunderstorms moved east, out of southeast New York by late evening.
