Severe threat coming our way and cooler temperatures. And the rainy pattern is back in the forecast.
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – There is still something of a light haze in the air from the wildfires in the central Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan wafting into the Twin Tiers. We will escape the brunt of the smoke, but it still is playing a role in our forecast. The sheen kept most of our temperatures below the 90° mark today. We also increase our chances of severe weather by the end of the day Thursday. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has us marked for a Marginal Risk of severe storms with the biggest threat being large hail and strong winds. Off in the wings, there is a cold front that will take a solid 10 degrees off of the upcoming forecast to start the weekend. It is going to eventually become a stationary boundary that will park over the Tiers by the weekend. The temperatures will become more mild – aka closer to our normal of 76° – but it will come at a cost. That price is more rain. We will have a hard time getting the rain out of here over the next few days. Yes, that rainy pattern is back, so all of your upcoming lawn mowing and excess water dumping needs to be rushed to completion. The next seven days will feature more rain and pauses intermittently dotted with cloud cover. The warm-up was nice and summer-like, but June, so far, is shaping up to look a lot like May.
