Today in Weather History - The June 9, 2015 Tornado That Hit Scotia
Tuesday June 9, 2015 - Severe T'Storm Event - Brief EF0 Scotia Tornado and Microburst. A strong upper level disturbance followed the morning passage of a front/wind shift line triggering a fast moving line of strong thunderstorms which swept across all of eastern New York and western New England roughly between 1 and 5pm. A few of these thunderstorms within the line became severe as they moved into and through the Hudson valley where instability was higher due in part to surface dewpoints remaining in the lower 60s along with slightly greater low level wind shear than across the surrounding area. Pockets of wind damage occurred with a few of the cells in Saratoga, Schenectady, Albany, Rensselaer, Washington and Berkshire counties with a brief spin up type tornado which touched down in conjunction with a microburst (small scale straight line wind burst) in the village of Scotia at approximately 2:41pm. It was in Scotia where most of the wind damage occurred with a pocket in Albany County around Glenmont also experiencing a number of blown down trees.
