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.

Hot and humid conditions will persist on Thursday with highs in the mid 80s and dewpoints in the 70s. This environment will be suitable for thunderstorm development, but without a feature to trigger storms, it remains very uncertain where, when, and how many, if any, storms may develop. Anything that does form could have strong winds and hail to go with frequent lightning and torrential downpours. Many areas will likely end up dry most or all of the day, though. Thursday night will again be very warm and muggy with lows around 70 degrees.… Read More

Still, scattered thunderstorms will likely bubble up during the afternoon hours, with stray showers and storms also possible especially in the morning, but really at any time of the day. Some areas may not end up with any rain at all, though. Any storms that pop up will contain torrential downpours, frequent lightning, and a chance for some strong winds or small hail.… Read More
