Weather Blogging

Weather is complex, and often, a simple graphic does not tell the whole story.

That is why Finger Lakes Weather meteorologist Drew Montreuil blogs frequently.

From detailed forecast discussions and recapping recent weather events, to looking beyond our region at what the weather is doing elsewhere, to teaching about the weather in an easy to understand format, Finger Lakes Weather offers four different blogs.

Temperatures and humidity will both be higher on Wednesday, sending heat index values over 100, and in some areas, over 110. Precautions against heat related illnesses should be taken. With the heat and humidity, a few scattered showers or storms may be possible at any time.
