ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Southwest wind will bring back in surface level smoke this morning, degrading the air quality to the “Unhealthy” level. Sensitive groups should avoid outdoor activity and others should limit outdoor activity this morning… But you’ll probably just want to stay inside anyways, because that southwest wind is also bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms this morning. These are along a warm front and will affect the region through 7-8am.
Then we get a break, smoke starts to thin out, and then our concern will be strong afternoon thunderstorms. First we’ll get a line of weaker storms around midday, then a broken line of much stronger storms around 3-6pm. The main threat with these storms is damaging straight-line winds up to 50-60 MPH, but isolated flooding from 1-2″ of heavy rain, isolated hail up to 1″ in diameter, isolated tornadoes, and frequent lightning are concerns as well. It is very important that you secure any loose outdoor objects, go inside when you hear thunder, don’t drive through flooded roads, and have multiple ways to receive warnings. The First Alert Weather app is a great tool to utilize on a day like this as we will be tracking the storms all day and sending out updates directly to your phone.
Storms should clear out before sunset, with a few residual showers possible through the first half of the night. Skies clear after midnight as the cold front finishes passing through, and then tomorrow is looking great. Sunny skies, comfortable temperatures and humidity, and light winds. The smart thing to do is postpone any outdoor plans today and move them to tomorrow.
Stay tuned for updates on the forecast.
