Survey Summary:
With assistance from the New York State Police`s Unmanned Aerial
Systems program, the Albany, NY Weather Forecast Office was able
to determine an EF-1 tornado occurred along S. Shore Road in the
Town of Day, NY. While much of the damage resulted from rear flank
downdraft winds, drone footage indicated a narrow swatch of tree
damage consistent with low-level rotation. After coming ashore,
the tornado proceeded over Bailey Hill producing additional tree
damage to the east. It traveled eastward towards Hunt Lake,
producing a more concentrated area of damage along the northern
shore of Hunt Lake before dissipating.

It should be stressed that the majority of tree damage on the
eastern shore of Great Sacandaga Lake was the result of strong
rear flank downdraft winds. The Albany, NY Weather Forecast Office
thanks the New York State Police for their significant assistance
in completing this survey.
