Severe Weather
May 26, 2011

A nearly stationary frontal boundary was draped across western and northern New York State during the morning with several waves of low pressure traveling northeast along the front. In addition, a warm front moved northeast across the region Thursday morning ushering in a warm and unstable airmass. Round one of severe weather occurred when thunderstorms developed rapidly after 3 pm across the western Adirondacks. The another round of severe weather occurred when a large bowing segment from a mesoscale convection system moved across the area after 10 pm.
