A frontal boundary moved through Central New York and supported multiple thunderstorms. High instability and shear supported scattered severe thunderstorms containing damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a NWS survey also confirmed a tornado in Delaware County. There were dozens of reports of trees down from other storms, with some trees falling onto occupied vehicles. Fortunately there were no injuries. There were also many reports of large hail with the largest size reported was 1.5 inches, which is about the size of a ping pong ball.

A tornado briefly touched down along the south shore of the East Branch Delaware River near Fishs Eddy causing damage to trees. An eyewitness reported seeing his 75-100 foot hemlock tree twist and snap off about halfway up the trunk. Another eyewitness captured video of a rotating wall cloud in the general vicinity of this
area of damage. The tornado crossed O&W Road, proceeding uphill causing further damage to some trees in the forest and powerlines along Hubbell Hill Road. Due to extremely steep terrain, the evidence of further tornado damage was unobtainable through these wooded areas. Additional tree damage was observed at the intersection of O&W Road and Halls Island Road to the southeast of East Branch. The tornado is believed to have skipped through the mountainous area before lifting over the Beaver Kill. No further damage was noted or reported across the river toward Baxter Mountain.
