ALERT DAY: Watching the severe threat for Wednesday

Yahoo05-03-2025
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – Rain and snowmelt will increase the potential for ice jam flooding, and ponding of water in low lying areas. A few strong to severe thunderstorms with gusty to damaging winds are possible as well Wednesday evening. The 18 Storm Team is watching this impressive storm system track into Twin Tiers, which is why we are calling for an Alert Day this midweek.
This huge complex stretches from Canada to Mexico dragging with it severe weather in the deep south and blizzard conditions in the heartland.
We remain in the crosshairs for soaking rains arriving on Wednesday afternoon when we will see strong to severe storms and about an inch of rain for many of us. The warm-up and rain will aid in a rapid snow melt and bring some river or creek levels to minor flood stages because of ice jams preventing the free-flowing of moving water.
Meanwhile, we will remain mainly dry in our overnight, but the rain will pop in just after lunch for most of us who. We are all likely to hear a clap of thunder and get under a downpour at some point on Wednesday. After that get ready for Old Man Winter to follow with a chance for light snow as that system ushers in colder weather for Thursday and even colder air for the weekend.
