NWS offices of BGM and BUF are still finding more tornadoes from the other day of this once in 20-30 year storm event in WNY/CNY. Not only a bonafide tornado outbreak but literally it was a plains quality level outbreak of storms. Again, the equivalent for that in ENY and Capital Region was the 1998 Outbreak and the event that produced the highly destructive 1998 EF3 Mechanicville tornado.

As of today, NY is experiencing its third most active tornado season on record, tied with 1998 and 2011 at 23 tors. Only 1992 (25) and 2024 (33) have had more. Something tells me that 2026 is not done yet 👀

Now PDS tagged severe warning as an extremely dangerous situation with tornadoes possible within. About as extended of a PDS warning you’ll see in the Northeast S Syracuse metro to Cortland, Elmira and Binghamton at risk here for 60-80+mph winds. Seek shelter immediately. #nywx #pawx #tornado
Honestly tornado or not isn’t most relevant. These kind of velos on radar very concerning. Severe wind damage possible #nywx #flxwx

Concern for Seneca falls for a potential #tornado if not potentially damaging winds 50-75+mph. Very concerning look by the finger lakes #nywx
