The National Weather Service is launching a new set of thunderstorm alerts that will better inform residents about what may be in store during stormy conditions.
A wind gust of 92 miles per hour was recorded south of Apalachin as thunderstorms raced through the region, knocking out power, damaging buildings and taking down trees.
Dave Nicosia, a meteorologist who has become familiar to many Twin Tiers residents, has been promoted to the top job at the National Weather Service's Binghamton office.
