Read the full account →A low level boundary pushed southeast ahead of an mesoscale convective system late in the afternoon. This boundary followed the passage of a warm front with effective shear values jumping to 50-60 knots as the low level boundary made its way across southern Ontario and into…
Read the full account →Snowmelt from a late season snowpack combined with heavy rain produced widespread flooding across northern New York. Four to six inches of water was released from the snowpack over April 10 to 15 when daytime highs reached the 60s and 70s, and overnight lows remained well above…

Read the full account →A rapidly intensifying low pressure system advanced through the western Great Lakes and eventually spun up toward James Bay. This pushed a cold front across the area during the latter half of November 15.
Read the full account →A warm and humid airmass remained stagnant over Central New York on this day. A weak upper level disturbance moved through the region, triggering heavy rain producing thunderstorms.
Read the full account →Though the primary west to east oriented frontal boundary with upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints streaming into it remained south across Ohio and Pennsylvania, a deepening low pressure system crossing New York State and a very moist air mass resulted in a dynamic moisture-laden…
