Currently at the noon hour on Wednesday, a line of strong thunderstorms is quickly approaching the area. This line of storms will push through with some gusty winds and a quick downpour.

Expect thunderstorms to move through the west side of the county between 12:30-1:15 and the east side of the county shortly after.

Once this line passes, skies will break back open to partly to mostly sunny. Expect the remainder of the afternoon to be mainly rain free. A breezy southwest wind will still remain.

The next chance for another line of showers and thunderstorms will be during the mid to late evening hours. Even then, anything will come and go in a short period of time.

Tonight will be an interesting night across most of the area. A line of strong thunderstorms extending from Toronto to Cleveland are currently racing off to the ENE. Thunderstorms closer to Cleveland have really packed and those will move into our area later tonight.

Showers and thunderstorms will begin to enter Monroe County around 10pm. We will have to keep an eye out for thunderstorms producing strong damaging winds tonight. Heavy rainfall will also be a concern.

Just a absolutely beautiful day out there right now for the final day of summer 2009. Just a few high clouds streaming in from the southwest. The thicker clouds remain to our west and shouldn’t arrive until early this evening. Mostly sunny skies will be the story for the remainder of the afternoon. Temperatures will climb to near 80 degrees.

The threat for showers begins to arrive later this evening, but nothing until then. Enjoy it!!!
