A tight pressure gradient between a strong low pressure system over northern New England, and an approaching ridge of high pressure from the west, led to strong winds across eastern New York and western New England, from Monday evening, into midday Tuesday.
Wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph occurred, resulting in scattered power outages and downed trees and tree limbs. Approximately 7200 customers were without power in eastern New York State, mostly across northern portions of the Capital region, into Saratoga County.
