After I blogged earlier myself, along with others earlier about the more stable airmass near the southern Lake Ontario shoreline, I went ahead and issued a severe for NORTHERN CAYUGA COUNTY IN CENTRAL NEW YORK…SOUTHWESTERN OSWEGO COUNTY IN CENTRAL NEW YORK… NORTHEASTERN WAYNE COUNTY IN WESTERN NEW YORK…despite the fact I knew earlier this activity wasn’t severe (and also per real-time reports).  A no-no on my part, but just to prove my point, this is the MESH product at the time I issued that severe thunderstorm warning. Lesson learned (Eric).
