Today in Weather History - Severe Wx Hits Broadalbin with a Brief Tornado - June 30, 2017
Severe Weather Event - Brief EF-1 Tornado in Broadalbin, Fulton County - Pockets of Damaging Wind and Large Hail - Heavy Rain. Widespread downpours and thunderstorms erupted across the region through the early to mid afternoon and continued into the evening on Friday June 30, 2017 (coming in two waves) in response to a moderately unstable air mass characterized by temperatures in the low to mid 80s, dewpoints in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees and moderately strong wind shear. Significant turning of the wind with height was evident on the local upper air soundings with a strongly backed wind across eastern New York into the south-southeast with a turning of the wind into the SW and WSW with height. This directional shear aided in storm organization with several briefly weakly rotating updrafts developing in a few of the stronger cells across the region. CAPE (Convective available potential energy) values generally ranged up to 1500 j/kg indicating sufficient energy for storm formation and development. Lapse rates, however (the amount of cooling with height) were not particularly strong which is likely what limited the number of damaging storms across the region when compared to the total number of storms which occurred. The trigger for the event was a weak mid level disturbance which tracked across the state.
