We’re one the coldest places in northern hemisphere right now. Everywhere else is destroying record highs. that will eventually reverse this winter when we go above normal for temps dec-March again. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/07/20/heat-wave-northern-hemisphere/?utm_source=reddit.com

That has to be a record for WNY or close to it. I know the southern tier has gotten some really big severe storms with EF4 tornadoes but thats a big hailstone.

I think that’s 328” of snow using the kuchera method off the gfs.

I just want my shelf cloud over the lake

Oops

What an insane day. Did you see the Lackawanna house explosion? Looked like a bomb went off.

First time I’ve seen this in summer JUST IN: A state of emergency and travel ban has been issued for all of Niagara County due to storms and flooding. https://www.wkbw.com/weather/radar

Lockport flooded

Some small rotation on that cell too. Has to be some crazy looking clouds. If I left now I'd probably miss the good stuff.

Pretty solid line.

You and tug should get a pool so you can cheer with us for heat.

...Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Possible Late Today and this Evening... A cold front poised over southern Ontario during the midday will push south this afternoon and evening. Since the bulk of today will feature plenty of sunshine over our region...our airmass will become quite unstable and thus favorable for strong to severe thunderstorms to develop along and ahead of the front. The strongest thunderstorm activity will likely impact the Thousand Islands region after 3 PM...then as the broken line of showers and storms push south...they will cross the counties lining the south shore of Lake Ontario as well as the remainder of the North Country after 5 PM. The activity is then forecast to weaken somewhat as it makes its way further south into the Southern Tier by nightfall. The greatest threat with the expected convection will be damaging straight line winds and possibly some hail.

Timing is good to get some instability going. Have to be away from the lake breeze off ontario.

Pretty crazy that an entire team of Mets that do nothing all summer except check temps couldn't figure this out last year. What were they doing all day in the office last summer when it was 90 everyday with sun.
