By: Statement from the National Weather Service
...Heavy Rain Today with Potentially Dangerous Thunderstorms...
Heavy rain from the tropical remnants of Beryl will soak the
region today and tonight with rainfall amounts ranging from a
half inch across the western Southern Tier and up to two inches
across the lake plains from Buffalo to Rochester...to potentially
more than three inches over the Eastern Lake Ontario region. This
could lead to local flooding problems...particularly in urban
areas and areas with elevated terrain.
Possibly a greater risk will come from strong thunderstorms that
will develop this afternoon. While there will be tropical
downpours and localized wind gusts to 40 mph...there
will be
unusually elevated risk for tornadoes. The greatest risk for
tornadic activity will be across the Finger Lakes region and parts
of the western Southern Tier.
