Upstate/Eastern New York


Recommended Posts

A warm front draped across western New York early this morning will
be pushed northward during the course of the day courtesy of a
surface wave over Lower Michigan. Shower and thunderstorm
coverage will increase rapidly in the coming hours with PWAT
values of 1.75 to 2 inches supporting the likelihood for some
heavy rain. Most areas will pick up at least a half inch of
needed rainfall, although localized 1 to 2 inch amounts will be
possible within the track of better organized convection.

As the forcing for the widespread convection moves east and
marginally drier air overspreads the region tonight...shower and
thunderstorm coverage will diminish from west to east.

While the passage of a cool front will maintain the chance for some
showers on Friday...the majority of the day/region will be rain
free. The highest potential for any showers Friday will be east of
Lake Ontario and across the Southern Tier.

I heard some thunder also, but not that much.  Hopefully this bit of rain tonight sets us up for a big hot steamer tomorrow! :lmao:

Well, there you go....while pretty much every where else in New York state is currently in the lower to mid 70s (even some 60s) Syracuse shoots right up to 80 degrees and is warmest in the state (outside of NYC).

Every...single....day....

Don't feel bad we hit 80° as well lol Forecast high was 74° but the sun came out. Clouds starting to roll back in and drop temps, getting a bit breezy..

 

You joined the club? lol

It's unreal how quickly this area warms up. I really do add 5 degrees onto whatever the forecasted high is. The days getting shorter is the first reminder we are on the way towards my favorite season... FALL! lol

Quite the storm 

More on last night's storms (7/7/2021):

This annotated closeup image shows a peak wind* of 92 knots (102 mph) measured about 500 feet above the ground level at 9:53 PM EDT, near Campville, NY.  Winds at ground and treetop level were likely a little weaker, but this lends credence to the unofficial 92 mph report received from south of Apalachin. 

* (Technically, the radar measures just the component of the wind towards or away from the radar. But since the wind direction in this case was SW to NE and pretty much spot-on directly towards the radar, actual wind velocities were likely not too much higher than indicated).

With the ground being as wet as it is you would think the effects of solar heating would be somewhat muted. I think as long as the heat dome is entrenched in the west we will be in a damp pattern here in the east.  Too bad we can’t send some of this moisture out where it is needed.

Yeah, if the ground was dry, Syracuse would be reaching 98 every other day instead of 92. :lol:

At what point will you stop being surprised that the largest urban area (at a very low local elevation) will be the hottest location within 100 miles...Every. Single. Day.  This should not be surprising or even interesting at this point.

As things stand with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), neutral conditions are currently present in the tropical Pacific and favored to last through the North American summer and into the fall. But forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center have issued a La Niña Watch, which means they see La Niña likely emerging (~55%) during the September-November period and lasting through winter.

We picked up 1.60" of rain this afternoon from a few rounds of heavy rain, 3.44" in the first 8 days of the month, so I don't have much to complain about..

3k wants to develop some more T-storms late this evening..Not sure about that yet lol

Another below average winter coming if a moderate Nina again. I'll take a weak to neutral ENSO.
