Thank you to @NWSBUFFALO Warning Coordination Meteorologist Shane Kearns for a great discussion with our @MonroeCountyOEM Staff and Summer Interns on the importance of the relationship and communication between @NWS before, during, and after weather related emergencies.

The greatest potential for strong to severe thunderstorms will be this afternoon through early evening. Damaging wind gusts, hail, and locally heavy rain are the main threats. #nywx

A batch of showers will pass through the area late tonight into early Saturday morning. Additional showers and thunderstorms are then expected to develop Saturday afternoon with an elevated threat for severe weather, particularly from the Southern Tier to the Finger Lakes region.

Wet & cool start for the Memorial Day weekend. Some showers linger on Sunday but improving conditions by Monday and turning warmer. As it turns warmer, it may be tempting to jump into the lakes around the area but the water temperatures are still quit cold. Be safe! #USCG

Temperatures will fall to the mid and upper 30s well inland from the lakes across the Southern Tier and the North Country tonight. Elsewhere, expect temperatures mainly in the low 40s. A Frost Advisory is in effect for Allegany, Jefferson and Lewis counties tonight.

Even with warm air temperatures, the lake can be cold. Wear appropriate protective gear and clothing. Consider postponing small craft boating activities until the water temperatures are higher. #NationalSafeBoatingWeek

What do you do if you are caught in a rip current? Stay calm and relax, rip currents don’t pull you under. Don’t swim against the current. You may be able to escape if you swim out of the current following the shoreline. #NationalSafeBoatingWeek
