Should we make it 30 in a row, anyone? Not that anyone's keeping score here. #NYwx

As soon as I return from Iceland, the volcano erupts and I'm the one covering it. foxweather.com/extreme-weathe…
Tonight’s sunset over Reykjavík. The current time is 11:07 p.m. #Reykjavik #Iceland #sunset


Reykjavík at 11:30 p.m. is just like Reykjavík at 11:30 a.m. Still lots of people out and about on bikes, scooters, walking their dogs, even playing soccer. #MidnightSun

Certainly one of the most intense supercells I’ve seen around here. Power will likely take a few days to be fully restored in the hardest-hit areas. The Berkshire NYS Mesonet station recorded a gust of 61 mph. Meanwhile, not even a tree limb down here and I’m only 2 miles north…
Severe storms occurred today; one of them was a large high-end long track supercell that dropped large hail and damaging winds across its 100+ mile path. Reports will take awhile to gather. Feel free to add comments/pics/reports here; include location. Thx! #pawx #nywx
A deadly EF-1 tornado struck Oneida County around 4 a.m. Sunday. Two of the victims were 6-year-old twins. #NYwx

I don't know if I've ever seen a 77-degree dew point here before. The morning downpours certainly juiced up the air. #NYwx

The heat should stay in check today thanks to an ongoing complex of thunderstorms that produced a lot of wind damage and flash flooding in the Mohawk Valley and Catskills this morning. Over 75,000 customers are without power in New York state to start the day. #NYwx

Our heat wave will be ushered in by a complex of thunderstorms early Sunday morning that could bring some severe weather threat between 2-7 a.m. Sunday. The highest chance of damaging winds and hail is over northern New York. #NYwx

Never seen anything like this before. What an inning!
That's the two for one special

The summer solstice sunrise ushers in a beautiful day with sunshine and low humidity. Summer officially begins at 10:42 p.m. tonight, marking the longest day of the year. Enjoy the refreshing day before one of the worst early-season heat waves of recent memory arrives from…


Summer begins on Friday, and right on cue, confidence is high in a dangerous heat wave this weekend and into early next week. The worst of the heat is expected on Monday when feels-like temperatures will climb to 100 degrees or higher in many parts of the Northeast. Nights won’t…

If you smell smoke today, that’s because air quality has reached unhealthy levels in central New York as Canadian wildfire smoke overspreads the Northeast. Air quality alerts are posted through Sunday night. #NYwx

A cold front will stall over central New York later today, bringing rounds of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. A few storms could turn severe this afternoon and again Friday afternoon with locally damaging wind gusts. #NYwx


Canadian wildfire smoke creating a hazy sunshine today across central New York. Air quality could dip into the “moderate” category at times today and tomorrow but isn’t expected to reach “unhealthy” levels. #NYwx
