A moist and unstable air mass ahead of an advancing cold front led to the developing of thunderstorms during the early to middle afternoon hours on Tuesday, June 9th.  As the thunderstorms organized into small lines, some of the thunderstorms produced wind damage, mainly to trees and power lines.
The strongest thunderstorm in Schenectady County also produced a very brief EF0 tornado.  Although the tornado was only on the ground for a quarter mile, it caused significant damage to trees and power lines in the village of Scotia.
Thunderstorms ended over the region by the late afternoon, as the cold front crossed the region from west to east.
