Overview
A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) tracked across New York state on July 16, 2024. This was connected with a larger Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) that developed well upstream in the Midwest the day before leading to widespread storm damage in the Chicago Metro area.Oncethe MCV tracked off Lake Ontario, aline of organized and severe thunderstorms quickly developed and tracked through Central NY leading to widespread wind damage and tornadoes. With favorable hot and humid conditionsin place over eastern NY, the organized severe line of storms continuedits eastward track during the afternoon and evening hours.Widespread and, in some areas, considerable wind damage was observed along with embedded tornadoes through the western/southern Adirondacks, Mohawk Valley, Upper Hudson Valley,Capital District, and southern VTwith the strongest and most intense storms occurringalong and north of Interstate 90. The highest recorded wind gust occurred at the NYS Mesonet at Glens Falls of87 mph, which is the highest recorded wind gust by any mesonet site on record at the time. Scattered to numerous power outages occurred as a result of the storms.
NWS Storm Surveys have confirmed multiple tornadoes and one microburst from this event. Details of each are foundbelow. By far, the majority of the widespreaddamage that was observed was a result of straight line winds.
