A storm survey team consisting of meteorologists from the National Weather Service and staff from the Westchester Office of Emergency Management conducted a ground and aerial survey of wind damage from thunderstorms on Friday July 29th. Based on information gathered during the survey and conversations with local residences, the damage is being attributed to a microburst. The microburst had estimated maximum gusts of 80 mph associated with it, a path length of about 1.4 miles, and a maximum path width of 0.4 miles.||Damage from this microburst began on the Croton River along Route 9 and spread south-southeast towards central Ossining. The damage consisted primarily of snapped trees. A large 3-4 foot diameter tree fell on Route 9 near Eagle Bay Drive taking down power lines that resulted in the snapping of several telephone poles. Significant tree damage occurred at Cedar Lane Terrace at 6 Meadowbrook Drive. The tree damage was noted in a divergent pattern.

Episodes

July 7, 2009

A powerful cold front produced numerous severe thunderstorms across Connecticut, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley of New York. Some of the storms were very heavy rain producers, training across the same area, which caused isolated flash flooding on Long Island.

December 1, 2006

As a strong cold front moved east, a wave of low pressure rapidly intensified as it moved northeast along the front. A line of severe thunderstorms developed and moved southeast across the region. This line enhanced the strong synoptic scale wind gradient in place and produced damaging winds. High winds downed trees and power lines in Port Jervis and Monroe in Orange County and in Ossining in Westchester County.

September 2, 2006

Remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto brought heavy rain and gusty winds of 40 TO 57 MPH across Long Island and Southeast New York, east of the Hudson River, including most of New York City.

Severe thunderstorms produced damaging winds and large hail across many locations. High winds downed many whole trees, large tree branches, and power lines. News radio WCBS reported up to 150,000 power outages across the tri-state region.The National Weather Service confirmed that as a severe thunderstorm moved northeast, it produced a down burst near White Plains around 10:45 pm EDT. Wind damage to trees was observed from near the Scarsdale-White Plains border east through Harrison to Port Chester. Most of the wind damage in these towns was to trees, with many of them uprooted and all falling in the same direction, east to northeast (ENE). This damage was caused by 50 to 60 mph straight line winds. An embedded area of higher straight line winds occurred near the White Plains-Harrison border, the region bounded by the Maple Moor Golf Course to the east, Ridgeway Country Club to the west, and Interstate 287 to the north. Many large trees were downed in this area, some at least 3 feet in diameter. A few trees fell on houses and cars. The trees fell all in the same direction, east to northeast (ENE). The highest wind gusts were estimated up to 75 mph.
