rain

As we in Binghamton get ready to make the switch from the snowy season to the rainy season, one question remains. Why does it smell so good after it rains?

If Mondays aren't bad enough, we may start the next one dealing with a little snow on the morning commute. And that's after kicking off the weekend with heavy rain in Central New York from Tropical Storm Nicole.

Surely, you can imagine the smell right now.

A cold front will cross Utica and Rome this afternoon and evening, sparking dangerous storm activity with damaging winds and large hail.

If you're like me, you probably are thinking, "Drought? In Spring when it's raining?". I was stunned to learn we are suffering a drought, but it makes sense.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes you can 'smell' the rain? The Central sky is cloudy, and the air just smells...like rain. But what is that smell, really?

With the hot, humid weather we've seen this week, the next weather alert only makes sense.

Humidity levels will increase as Tropical Storm Barry makes his way into CNY.

The heavy rain after a long stretch of dry weather is washing out roads in central New York.

The heat and humidity are here.

This afternoon could be full of strong thunderstorms across the Upstate New York region.

Oh good. More rain. Just when you think you've had enough, the National Weather Service says significant rain could be on the way.
