A west-east oriented cold front crawled south across the North Country, at the time of maximum heating and instability, during the afternoon and evening hours of July 17th. Along this frontal boundary were a series of weak areas of low pressure. This resulted in numerous thunderstorms that developed in New York and moved into Vermont with some damaging winds and large hail.
