Thunderstorms likely again this afternoon, 5/28

Although overall chance of rain (POP) is only 30%, for the next few hours it will be 65%, making some sort of shower likely. The radar is quiet at this time. Look for the storms to develop north of us today and move southeast, so activity popping up in central and northern NYS will be of particular interest.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 7:00pm.

Why not? There was precious little activity around Albany when he was governor.

No, not likely. Yesterday's were less than 1/3"

Holy fudge, I hadn't heard about Pataki!

Thank you! This was the #1 reason I looked at MOL today - for this informtaion. Thanks Max.

Getting some interesting activity to our west. Keep an eye on the sky (or the radar), these are popping up quickly.

how much rain did we get today? I just returned home in the middle of a downpour...

Wrong thread. Anyway, the way my guage works, after the first inch have to empty it to read it. That will happen in the morning, but we were over one inch by six this evening.
