Traveling through Steuben County right now. Area near Prattsburgh where it looks like the trees have been devoured by insects... :(

Going through some downpours on the higher elevations of 86.

The temp dropped to the 50s on the hills! Ahhh, nice to be out of the tropics of Sizzlercuse... Lol

As an avid plant lover, glad to see it looks like yours survived.

My entire basement flooded 4” deep. Power was off for few hours during those training storms and sump pump shut off. Anyone have any advice to prevent that in the future?

As South said, a battery backup or we have a Liberty water - powered backup sump. No power needed.

My wife’s a vegan and obsessed with plants. They are everywhere in and outside our house. 

Plants are such a bother. Thinking of covering my 5 acres with concrete to create my own UHI sizzle. ;)

Yeah I haven't looked but there much be DC powered sump pumps available.  Would be more complicated depending on how you wanted to arrange the setup and space available, piping connections etc.

If it’s in your budget I’d go with a whole home generator or Tesla power wall/solar. We have a generator and it’s extremely convenient. I plan on doing a power wall when we go solar.

My favorite movie and one of the best scenes.. Happy 4th...

 

 

Happy 4th indeed.  Today was what I call the perfect summer day in my book.  Mostly sunny, temps in the low 80s, no winds and dews under 60.  Great afternoon swimming, vegging out on the patio, and lighting some fire works.

Plenty of opportunities for rain this week..

Quote
The main upper level features of interest for today and tonight are
1) an upper level ridge currently over lower MI and 2) a shortwave
trough over MN/WI.  As the ridge moves in today, lower level warm
air advection will continue across the region with capping
preventing any daytime convection.  The cap is already evident in
morning AMDAR data at about 750mb, and is expected to lower with
time to about 850mb due to WAA as the ridge moves overhead. So,
while there will be abundant potential instability aloft, there
just won`t be any way to get surface parcels to get above this
cap, at least south of Lake Ontario where low levels are
anticipated to be too dry for surface based convection. The cap
may not be as pronounced east of the lake, but it should still
be too dry for daytime convection.

Therefore, the remaining focus for today (after morning valley
fog) will be the borderline heat advisory scenario toward the
Genesee Valley/Finger Lakes. Models have trended downward with
surface dewpoints over the past day or so (as noted with the above
noted dry airmass in the lower levels with the WAA). With this in
mind, will shy away from a heat advisory for now.

For tonight, attention quickly turns to the above noted shortwave
trough following the ridge.  This feature is expected to move ESE
and across Lake Ontario overnight, with an associated W-E oriented
surface boundary moving south across the lake before it stalls
somewhere over WNY late tonight. While there should be convection to
the north of the lake this afternoon, there`s still a variety of
scenarios for convection this evening/overnight, from nothing across
all of WNY, to at least scattered convection south of Lake Ontario
and more widespread convection east of the lake.  With this in mind,
there`s higher confidence for measurable precipitation and
associated thunderstorms further east, probably around or after
midnight, but confidence over the Niagara Frontier, Genesee Valley,
and Western Finger lakes isn`t as high. The area with the least
likely chance for any rainfall tonight is toward the Southern Tier
being most displaced from the shortwave trough and stalling surface
boundary.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A weakening cold front will drop south across Lake Ontario, stalling
over the area with a west to east orientation. As a weak area of low
pressure tracks northeast across the Central Great Lakes, it will
start to push the front back north briefly as a warm front early
Wednesday. There is still some timing issues with the guidance and
when the front pushes back north.

As the front stalls over the area tonight into Tuesday morning,
showers with some thunderstorms are expected, especially east toward
CNY. Areas south of the front will remain warmer. Daytime
instability will increase south of the front, but doesn`t exactly
line up with the better shear values further north and east. None
the less, with some guidance suggesting a good amount of CAPE, and
most likely over estimating into the 3,000+ J/kg range, the
instability will be there for showers and thunderstorms. The
stalling front and a weakening shortwave trough moving through, will
be the primary area where showers and storms fire. There is a
Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms to our east, but at least some
gusty winds will be possible with any of the storms, this as model
guidance suggesting DCAPE values of around 750 J/kg. Temperatures
will be warm once again for Tuesday with highs in the mid 80s to
around 90.

Tuesday night, there should be a downward trend in the showers and
thunderstorms as the weakening shortwave tracks southeast of the
area, and weak ridging briefly moves into the area. With the front
over the region still, a few showers/storms over the area shouldn`t
come as a surprise. Tuesday night, low temps will be in the mid to
upper 60s south of Lake Ontario, and in the the low 60s for the
North Country.

Wednesday, the stalled front should move to the northern portion of
the area by the morning, increasing instability across almost the
entire area with daytime heating. Shear also looks a bit more
favorable for the area, especially toward the eastern portion of the
area, including the North Country. Another shortwave trough will
move through the area, helping to provide the additional forcing for
the development of thunderstorms. Almost the entire area is in a
`Marginal Risk` (from SPC), and would not be surprised if a portion
of the area is upgraded to a `Slight Risk`, especially the North
Country. Current thinking for high temps on Wednesday will be in the
low to mid 80s south of Lake Ontario, and in the mid to upper 70s
for the North Country. Could see these temps being a few degrees
warmer if the front moves even farther back north, but guidance is
still a bit split on exactly how warm the 850H temps get.

Wednesday night, the front will slowly sag back south over the area,
and showers with some thunderstorms possible will increase in
coverage. This will occur as a weak sfc low tracks northeast over
the region form the Ohio Valley. There will also be a slight uptick
in moisture on Wednesday night, as current TS Elsa moves northeast
along the Atlantic seaboard. Temperatures Wednesday night will be in
the mid 50s to low 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Showers will continue into Thursday with the frontal boundary just to
our south and the sfc low tracking northeast. A trough will also
cross the area late Thursday into Friday, continuing the potential
for showers.

Brief ridging late Friday night into Saturday should provide for a
mostly quiet period during this time. Another trough will track
toward the Eastern Great Lakes starting Sunday, providing yet again
another round of showers/rain for WNY and the North Country.
Guidance is indicating a multi day time frame for these showers,
through early next week.

Temperatures during the long term will start out right around
normal, and slowly warm to above normal by Saturday and Sunday.

HWO

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

The combination of heat and increasing humidity levels will bring
elevated heat index values with near advisory levels of 95F inland
across the Genesee Valley and Finger Lakes region.

Tonight, a cold front will approach and then move into the Lower
Lakes with increasing chances for storms. The best chance to see a
storm will be just south and east of Lake Ontario. A Marginal Risk
for severe thunderstorms has been issued with the main threat damaging
wind gusts.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Combined heat and humidity will again push heat index values near
advisory levels of 95F Tuesday across parts of the Lake Plains,
Genesee Valley, and into Finger Lakes region.

Additionally, a stalled frontal boundary in combination with daytime
heating will lead to showers and thunderstorms across the region. A
Slight Risk for a portion of the S. Tier into the western Finger
Lakes has been issue for Tuesday with the potential for severe
thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening with the main threat
damaging wind gusts.

Wednesday, another round of showers and thunderstorms will be
possible. SPC has place our area in a Marginal Risk for Severe
storms with damaging winds as the main threat.
