Damaging Wind in New York, June 26, 2006

What happened
The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
From June 24 through June 25 an upper level ridge strengthened off the eastern Atlantic Coast. The increasing southeasterly flow in the low levels of the atmosphere along the New England coast caused a nearly stationary front near the Atlantic Coast to drift northwestward into New York State. During the afternoon of June 25, this front lay from the northern Champlain Valley to the central southern tier of New York. A band of heavy rainfall occurred just to the southeast of this front. The heaviest rainfall was from the Catskills to the mid Hudson Valley. A few thunderstorms formed along the frontal boundary over east central New York during the afternoon. One thunderstorm became severe, producing damaging wind gusts.
