A supercell thunderstorm tracked from central Herkimer County through Fulton, central and southern Saratoga, northern Rensselaer and southern Bennington counties between 2:30 and 7pm Saturday August 29, 2020 producing a few pockets of minor straight line wind damage, some large hail and two brief EF1 tornadoes as it tracked across the region.

With a lack of rainfall, unusually low humidity, and an abundance of sunny pleasant days, the majority of May's days were optimal for outside activities. The month did come in cooler than average by 0.8 degrees at Albany, the first cooler than average month since June 2022. But the perception for most was that May was mild. And since more days came in with high temperatures that were warmer than average versus cooler than average, that makes sense.
