While a large and powerful storm system rolled toward the state, a low-topped convective event unfolded. Overhead, 65 knots of flow was present as this convective line crossed the North Country. Instability was modest but enough to channel large scale flow ahead of the convective line of heavy showers. Our area fell at the northern fringe of the convective activity, and while there was no thunder or lightning present, isolated wind damage was reported in Lewis County.
