Autumnal skies are changeable

September skies seized many eyes yesterday as fast paced weather changes produced brilliant pictures.  Click on the slideshow to see all of the picturesque photos shot by our weather watchers.  A cold front produced thunderstorms with small hail yesterday afternoon from Auburn to Throop and from Owego to Delhi. As these showers were ending, the sunshine came out. Because the sun was shining at a precise angle while it was raining, many rainbows were created. This morning, patchy clouds tickled the horizon and produced a lovely beginning to the day when the sun rose around 6:45 this morning. With occasional lake effect rain showers in the forecast, more variable skies will be likely at times between Tuesday and Wednesday morning. That will create more opportunities for dazzling skies.  With lake effect instability increasing later tonight into Wednesday morning and ambient wind speeds lowering a bit tonight, there is even an outside chance for a waterspout to develop over Lake Ontario.  While this is not a high probability, it is not out of the question.  So, lake shore photographers and boaters should be on alert for this.

When something catches your eye weather-wise or otherwise, we have a section dedicated to pictures that you can view and upload yourself.  That section is called MyCNYcentral.  It is an area where you can share photos and videos with everyone who visits the site. MyCNYcentral has different sections where you can see whose pictures and videos are “highest rated” and “most viewed”.  There is also a “pets” section for the animal lover in you. Plus, there is a “recently added” section where new pictures and videos are seen quickly.   Some of the pictures used in the slideshow were obtained directly from MyCNYcentral.  Since the summer season is winding down and the fall season is upon us, we hope you will share some of the great pictures and videos that you will take.  As we know, each picture is worth a thousand words. So, let’s see the photos fly. Visit MyCNYcentral right now and share with us some of the gorgeous skies and scenes that are produced by mother nature!
