An unseasonably strong spring storm moved across the northern Plains into central Canada on May 13th and 14th. At the same time, a strong surface high was located across New England on May 13th and strengthened while it slowly exited south of Nova Scotia on May 14th. This created a strong pressure gradient across northern New York. In addition, a strong mid-level disturbance moved across the Great Lakes and through northern New York and Vermont on the 14th.
Strong south to southwest winds of 25 to 35 mph with frequent gusts in excess of 50 mph was witnessed across much of northern New York during the morning and early afternoon hours of May 14th.

There were some localized higher gusts that approached 60 mph that caused some minor structural damage (roof shingles and poorly structured porches), as well as more numerous tree damage in portions of Franklin and western Clinton counties.

Rain changed to snow across portions of the southern and central mountains, generally in locations from the Balsams to areas north and east, and continued through the afternoon. The snow became heavy at times, and quickly accumulated to 1-4 inches by early evening. Locally higher amounts were reported in the higher elevations of the Balsams and Newfound Mountains. Snow, heavy at times continued into the evening hours. By the time the snow tapered off, accumulations of 2-5 inches were common across the area.

A National Weather Service (NWS) storm survey determined that a tornado initially touched down just east of Mark Center on Williams Center-Cecil Road, where eight utility poles were blown down towards the east with one pole being snapped. Immediately to the northeast of these poles on the south side of Highway 18, a small barn was blown off its foundation, but was left intact with a farm house across the road suffering some minor roof damage. The tornado briefly lifted, but touched down once again on Openlander Road between Lockwood and State Route 18. The front porch on a home was ripped off as well as a television antenna and large tree damaged. A large barn suffered some minor roof damage. As the tornado skipped a few more times, additional trees suffered varying damage, with a few homes suffering shingle or siding damage. The total length along the broken path was roughly 5 miles with a maximum width of only around 50 yards.
A vigorous storm system brought snow to portions of north central Idaho. Local gusty west to southwest winds increased as the jet stream pushed through the area, creating areas of reduced visibility in blowing snow. Snow accumulations in the lower elevations ranged from three to five inches, while higher terrain received eight to twelve inches of new snow. Wind gusts between thirty and forty miles per hour were not uncommon with this storm.
