Yellow Alert Weather on Wednesday: Severe storm threat with heavy rain

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — After a nice summer day on Tuesday, we need to be ready for some heavy thunder on Wednesday with a Yellow Alert for possible severe storms in the afternoon and evening.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl will continue to move towards Rochester on Tuesday night into Wednesday. The steadier rain will stay just to the north of our region. However, the latest track will bring hot, humid, and unstable air into Western New York and the Finger Lakes on Wednesday.

This combination will help to develop some strong to severe storms later in the day. Any storm that does develop may bring very heavy rain and local flash flooding. Another concern will be damaging wind gusts in some storms. While not a huge threat, we may even see a weak tornado spin up south of Rochester in these storms on Wednesday.

Stay tuned to News10NBC for the latest updates on the timing of the severe weather threat on Wednesday.
