…STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID AFTERNOON…

AN INTENSE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL CROSS THE AREA FROM MID MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. RAINFALL OF AROUND ONE INCH WILL FALL IN LESS THEN TWO HOURS WHICH WILL CAUSE POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING ESPECIALLY IN URBANIZED AREAS. ALSO THE ROADWAYS ARE CURRENTLY COVERED WITH LEAVES
WHICH COULD BLOCK CULVERTS AND CAUSE MINOR FLOOD PROBLEMS.

THE FRONT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH. THIS COULD BRING DOWN TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES RESULTING IN SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS OR EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH…
PENN YAN TO CORNING AREA BETWEEN 10 AND 11 AM EDT…
AUBURN TO ITHACA TO ELMIRA TO TOWANDA AREA BETWEEN 11 AM AND NOON EDT…
SYRACUSE TO CORTLAND TO BINGHAMTON AREA AROUND NOON EDT…
UTICA TO NORWICH TO SCRANTON AREA BETWEEN NOON AND 1 PM EDT…
