A cold front moved through Central New York, triggering multiple thunderstorms. An unstable environment supported many severe thunderstorms. While damaging wind gusts were the main hazard, large hail was also reported. Most of the damage was from trees and wires being knocked down. However, there was a surveyed microburst in Cayuga County near Venice Center that resulted in multiple farm buildings that had parts or all of their roof ripped off, a small farm building being knocked off its foundation by a large tree, and multiple large trees in the area snapped or knocked over.

A 90 mph microburst was determined to have hit Roach's Farm in
Venice, NY. There were four barns that sustained roof damage with
metal panels being lofted. The furthest debris was about 200
yards from the barn. Some of the metal panels had been lofted into
the power lines along Stewart's Corners Rd but had been cleaned
prior to our survey. There were several pieces of metal roofing
that were still located in trees at the time of our survey. At the
intersection of Ford Rd and Stewart's Corners Rd, there was a
Davis weather station that was sheltered from the southwest, but
recorded a measured 59 mph gust during the storm.
The strongest damage indicators were on the northwestern edge of
the damage path along Ford Rd, where several trees were snapped.
Three of the hemlock trees lining Ford road were snapped roughly
10 to 15 feet off the ground. Behind those trees, there were a
group of maple trees with several of those being snapped in
addition to the hemlocks. One of the maple trees fell onto a farm
building and shifted the entire building off the wooden foundation
to the east northeast. The building likely shifted due to the
tree falling, however the wooden polls on the northwestern edge of
the building had been lifted out of the ground by about 4 inches.
Other damage was also seen around the area, generally to the east
where another farm building lost metal roofing and a large
hardwood tree had its trunk snapped, however they were not along
the path of the stronger winds.
