A slow moving cold front moved from the central Great Lakes to Western New York by early afternoon. With sufficient sunshine ahead of the boundary, temperatures warmed into the 80s, with increasing moisture. This unstable air mass caused scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop ahead of the front, with many of the storms producing large hail, and some isolated wind damage reports.
