An upper level disturbance was situated just north of the region over Quebec during the afternoon on Friday, July 24th.  During the early afternoon hours, daytime heating caused a supercell thunderstorm to develop in the upper Hudson River Valley near Glens Falls.  This storm tracked south-southeast into the Saratoga Region, producing large hail and damaging winds. Some areas saw so much hail that it accumulated on the ground. The storm finally weakened after about an hour, after causing around 500 customers to lose power across Saratoga and Washington counties.
