Beautiful Start to Fall Across the Hudson Valley and New York State

Fall is here. According to the NOAA, the autumnal equinox will happen Sunday at 8:43 AM. The change in seasons will bring an end to what was a record setting summer for severe weather across many parts of New York state.

Summer across the Hudson Valley and many parts of New York state brought above average temperatures, and widespread damaging thunderstorms for the majority of the season. However, many parts of the state have since experienced its driest stretch of weather since May.

Record Year For Tornadoes in New York State 

The National Weather Service spent weeks during the summer surveying a record number of tornadoes that struck during the month of July, including a powerful EF-2 tornado that completely devastated parts of Rome, NY. That also came on the heels of the effects of Hurricane Beryl moving though the Northeast, which spawned a number of tornadoes across New York earlier that month.
