Summary Tornadoes and flash floods affected central New York and northeast Pennsylvania during the early morning on the 28 th. This was only the 2 nd time since the late 1990s that a tornado was reported in our area between midnight and 9 am. Tornadoes occurred with a variety of convective storm structures and a variety of rotational evolution patterns.

Summary continued 00z hi resolution model runs forecast a variety of structures; mostly broken lines of convection, composed of small line segments and some individual cells. The 00z HRRR model was too weak with the line (especially over NY), but subsequent runs trended toward a better forecast. All of the 00z models were too far west (too slow) with the convection from 06z through 12z.
