The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
An upper-level wave moved through the Great Lakes region and brought numerous storms to Central New York, making it one of the more active days in July. Strong instability and shear lead to a severe weather outbreak across the region. A few storms became tornadic. The most notable tornado was a high end EF-2 that went through Rome, NY and led to significant damage. Fortunately, no fatalities occurred with this storm. However, there was one fatality in Canastota when a man was trying to protect his old car while a storm with an EF-1 tornado was passing through. Multiple other storms had damaging wind gusts that lead to widespread damage across the region.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 16, 12:37 PM EST, 30 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
137 PM EDT Tue Jul 16 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid conditions today with another round of
thunderstorms. A trailing cold front will move through the area
on Wednesday, bringing cooler temperatures but lingering shower
and thunderstorm chances. Fair weather and cooler temperatures
are expected Thursday and into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
139 PM update...
Convection continues to develop across the western Finger Lakes
and a broad area of w-central NY out ahead of an approaching
MCV that is rotating eastward across western NY. A layer of
strong 500mb winds (40-50 kts) associated with low-amplitude
short wave are swinging through the region and combining with
backed southerly surface winds (10-20 kts) to produce a
confined area of strong deep layer shear. This strong forcing is
working in tandem with a passing mesoscale convective vortex and
a rapidly destabilizing environment to produce very favorable
conditions for significant convective growth that will occur
over the next several hours and progress to the east. These
storms are starting out relatively discrete, but should
eventually evolve into a more linear mode after a couple hours
and the upper short wave catches up from the west.
A Severe Thunderstorms Watch is in effect until 6 PM this
evening with the main threat being damaging winds and a few
tornadoes. Cannot rule out hail as well.
The storms are expected to move rapidly to the east early this
evening and leave in their wake lingering scattered clouds and a
few light rain showers and. Winds will become more westerly and
temperatures will drop into the 60s with a brief period of much
lower humidity. The atmosphere recharges tomorrow morning with
temperatures quickly rising back into the 80s with dew points
into the lower 70s.
A trailing cold front over Lake Erie will push eastward and be
the focus of attention for more convective development during
the first half of the day Wednesday. Showers and storms are
expected to blossom over the central part of NY and spread to
the east/southeast through the late morning and early afternoon
hours. Some of these storms could becomes strong to
severe...mainly east and south east of a line from Corning to
Utica. The front moves quickly to the east as drier and cooler
air arrives from the west/nw.
Temperatures will warm into the 80s in NY and into the upper 80s
in ne PA Wed, but then cool into the 60s with dew points in the
50s by Wed night. Some patchy valley fog is possible.
1010 AM update...
We continue to track the remnants of a Midwest MCS with an
embedded MCV across southern Ontario this morning which is
expected to be the focal point for strong forcing that will
interact with a very unstable air mass and produce strong and
severe thunderstorms across a good portion of central NY this
afternoon. The SPC has upgraded the Day 1 Convective Outlook and
placed an Enhanced area of risk from the northern Finger Lakes
east to the western Mohawk Valley, and farther east into
southern VT. The main threat will be damaging straight-line
winds and a couple embedded tornadoes as well. Timing is still
questionable, but the most favorable start time looks to be as
early as 12-1 PM in the northern Finger Lakes, and potentially
and ending time as late as 8 PM near Utica and Cooperstown.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
325 AM Update...
Showers and storms are expected to linger Wednesday night and into
Thursday morning as a frontal system continues to drop south across
the region. Instability will decrease in the evening, but model
guidance and soundings do show up to 500 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40 to 45
kts of shear through the late evening hours. Because of this,
isolated strong thunderstorms will still be possible across southern
portions of NEPA and the Catskills. Overnight, this main band of
showers and storms will move out of the region though some lingering
showers will also be possible. Temperatures will fall into the upper
50s to mid 60s overnight.
As high pressure builds into the region, conditions will dry out
Thursday morning and will remain dry through the rest of the short
term period. Initially, the pressure gradient tightens up with the
high moving in so winds will be breezy during the daytime. With
cooler air in place thanks to the cold front, temperatures will only
max out in the 70s, though some valleys will likely exceed 80 thanks
to clearing skies. Overnight, conditions will be cooler than
previous nights as temps fall into the 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
325 AM Update...
Most of the long term period will be dry as high pressure will be
present over the region for awhile. Some isolated passing
showers/thunderstorms may be possible over the weekend for NEPA, but
forcing will be weak and moisture will be limited. Models bring a
slight increase in moisture up from the south in the mid to low
levels, but model soundings are dry above the surface, so if
anything can develop, it will be light. There is also a weak surface
front that drops south from Canada later in the weekend, but that
too will run into dry air and most model guidance favors drier
conditions across CNY, at least for now. Monday is favored to be dry
but a weak coastal low along a stationary front tries to bring
showers into the southern half of the region. For now, will PoPs
will remain capped at slight chance late Monday. Seasonable
temperatures are expected with highs in the 70s/80s and lows in the
50s/60s.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Line of convection/storms beginning to develop over western NY
and this line is expected to intensify as it sweeps to the east
through the rest of the afternoon. Some embedded segments of
this line of storms will likely have wind gusts greater than 40
kt. The airports with the greatest potential (30 pct chance) for
seeing these strong winds will be RME, SYR and ITH. There is a
lesser chance (10 pct or less) at ELM and BGM, and less than 5
pct at AVP. Timing of thunderstorms today appears to be starting
between 18-19Z at ITH/ELM/SYR, between 19-20Z at BGM and RME and
lasting as long as 2 hrs...but generally less than that.
After the storms end, areas of MVFR ceilings may develop late
tonight/early Wed morning. Some valley fog may impact ELM.
Conditions should improve after 13-14Z Wed morning.
Outlook...
Wednesday...Restrictions possible in showers and thunderstorms,
mainly in the morning from BGM to AVP.
Thursday through Saturday...Mainly VFR.

Severe thunderstorms moved through the area during the mid afternoon of July 16, 2024. One of the storm cells moved through Canastota, NY producing a tornado touchdown between the Conrail railroad tracks and Barlow Street. The tornado was witnessed by town officials, residents and a video security camera on Canal Street as it moved to the east along Barlow and Railroad Streets. Severe damage occurred to multiple residences along Barlow Street with significant loss of roofs and roofing material as well as blowing out garage doors and windows. Two sheds were destroyed and multiple large diameter tree trunks and limbs were snapped. An 82 year old male |succumbed to injuries sustained while he was outside as the tornado crossed Main |Street. The tornado continued down Center Street causing further damage to trees, |roofs and a few power poles. The tornado veered slightly to the northeast crossing|the Old Erie Canal, causing additional tree damage and tearing a metal roof off of |a pole bar along Canal Road. It then weakened and dissipated before striking a solar |farm which sustained nearly no damage. The damage found along most of the tornado track was consistent with maximum wind speeds around 100 mph which is within the EF-1 category of the Enhanced Fujita scale.
Strong thunderstorm winds knocked down trees on Highway 13.
Strong thunderstorm winds knocked down a tree into a corn field.

An EF1 tornado descended out of a rotating severe thunderstorm at 319 PM EDT about 2 miles east of Taberg NY on Palmer Road initially with minor tree damage, and then more tree damage near the intersection of Mitchell and Point Rock Roads. The tornado|strengthened while tracking across Streun, Sulphur Springs, Harris, and Capron roads where a some structures were impacted. This included a mobile home that was shifted off of its blocks with much of its roof covering missing and lofted from Harris Road|towards Capron Road. Residents were in a vehicle that got lifted and moved slightly, but they were uninjured. Additional roof and garage damage occurred at other Harris Road homes. 2 trees fell on a residence and outbuilding on Capron Road, with significant roof damage. This was the area that experienced the most damage and widest footprint of downed trees, with estimated winds up to 95 mph, placing it firmly into the EF1 range. The tornado progressed over the northern end of Podunk Road, crossing Route 26 while tearing off half of a roof. The damage pattern became more chaotic along Beartown Road, though there were a dozen small to medium branches that impaled the ground as missiles in a backyard. The tornado ended just over the Town of Western line about a mile south of Beartown or 2 miles north of the Stokes Corner.
Strong thunderstorm winds knocked down a tree on Stein Road.
Severe thunderstorms carried through the area with scattered damage during mid afternoon of July 16 2024. Strong rotation in one of the storms caused a high-end EF2 tornado to touch down between the Erie Canal and Muck Road in Oneida County New York. The tornado passed directly through Rome with heavy damage and estimated maximum wind speeds to 135 mph, before lifting just past Griffiss International Airport. Two churches sustained significant damage to their roofs and steeples. Two|large brick buildings sustained major damage or removal of roofs, with complete collapses of some walls. Cascading bricks next to these buildings crushed multiple vehicles. A vehicle was also flipped in a parking lot, one recreational vehicle was pushed over; another was forced from the side of a house out into a driveway, colliding with a parked car. Hundreds of large trees were snapped or uprooted, with resultant damage to adjoining properties. There was significant loss of roofs or roofing material from multiple residences, as well as blown out garage doors or windows. Some yards and even exterior walls were impaled by missiles in the form of branches or other objects. A B-52 on display near a park was shifted off its base but remained upright and undamaged.
