Read the full account →Remnants of a convective complex passed south of the area. However, the northern fringe of convection associated with it clipped our area. Strong storms moved across eastern Lake Erie and persisted onto land and tracking into Chautauqua County.
Read the full account →A weak area of low pressure south of the region triggered a series of showers across the area from mid morning through mid afternoon. These showers developed in a high precipitable water environment (2.08 inches on the morning sounding from Upton, NY) with slow storm motions,…

Read the full account →A storm system moved from the Ohio Valley Sunday December 1, 1996 passing through the eastern Great Lakes Sunday night and into Canada on Monday December 2, 1996. Generally 1 to 3 inches of rain fell across northern New York.
Read the full account →A storm system moved from Pennsylvania on April 2nd into New York State on April 3rd. Warmer air, rainfall and melting snow resulted in rising river levels.
Read the full account →A slow moving warm front bought numerous showers and thunderstorms to the area. The slow movement of the storms produced isolated areas of heavy rainfall, with areas of flash flooding.
Read the full account →During April 13th and 14th, a slow moving cold front drifted southeast across the area. An area of low pressure moved along the front, passing across the region with widespread rainfall. Flooding occurred due to the combination of snowmelt and rainfall.

Read the full account →Low pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast produced several inches of rain across southern Albany County. The rain fell on fairly wet ground and forced the Hannacroix Creek below the Alcove Dam to flood.
Read the full account →A severe thunderstorm produced high winds and torrential rain as it passed over Larchmont. High winds downed many trees, which fell on houses, uprooted sidewalks, and downed power lines in a 15 to 20 block area. This storm also downed trees and power lines in Mamaroneck.
