On Tuesday afternoon strong, but scattered, thunderstorms moved through the Finger Lakes resulting in flash flooding conditions due to torrential downpours. While most of the Finger Lakes remained dry – places like Auburn, Victor & western Wayne County, saw flooding rains. Some of those storms that moved through were even strong enough to take down trees.
PHOTOS, VIDEO, AND MORE:
Localized flash flooding occurred Tuesday on Main Street in Cortland.
Be weather aware again today as localized heavy showers and thunderstorms will create isolated flash flooding in a few spots across central New York!

As scattered thunderstorms came through parts of our area yesterday, it created localized wind damage and isolated brief flash flooding.
Here is some wind damage from @BroadcastBybee in Sennett.

For a good 45 minutes downtown Auburn was basically a lazy river ride. Some of the worst flooding I’ve ever seen here. pic.twitter.com/ylfNohAdTM

Showers and thunderstorms have begun to pop up this afternoon. If you’re headed out and about, expect to dodge some rain (heavy at times) into this evening. Highest likelihood for storms is along and south of the Thruway. #WxOnThe1s pic.twitter.com/vhj3XmPCjV
