The combination of a low pressure system tracking east across northern New York State, and a second low pressure rapidly developing across the Canadian Maritimes created a tight pressure gradient across much of eastern New York and western New England during Sunday afternoon and evening, December 7th. This tight pressure gradient led to strong west to northwest winds, with sustained speeds of 15 to 30 mph, and gusts of up to 55 mph.
These strong winds led to some downed tree limbs, and subsequent scattered power outages across the region Sunday afternoon and evening.
