Today's forecast

Good morning, we are watching for the potential of some stronger storms this afternoon and evening as a front moves through. Gusty winds and small hail is the main concern with these storms. The Poconos may get several rounds of rain this afternoon so there is also a greater flash flood threat in that area.

Today at 1316 hours Sylvan Beach, Bridgeport and Cleveland were alerted for a water rescue on Oneida Lake. A caller reported a female had fallen off a boat and was in distress. The female was unable to get back to her boat. Sylvan Beach Water Rescue 3, Oneida County Sheriff's Marine 1 and Madison County Sheriff's Marine 1 responded to the scene. Sheriff's units arrived and were able to locate the female. Water rescue personnel entered the water and were able to get the female safely on board the rescue vessel. The female was brought to shore and evaluated by Vineall Ambulance. Another example of multiple agencies working together flawlessly to save a life. Thank you to Bridgeport, Cleveland, South Bay, Constantia, West Monroe, Caughdenoy and Brewerton for stand by coverage.
