This storm also has some rotation with it, and I am a little concerned with the shape of the storm. While I doubt it will warrant a tornado warning, be sure to keep checking back in the next 30 mins or so in case it does!

Near Miss South: 2:20 update
The storm continues to develop and strengthen and is currently located southeast of Ithaca. For Groton, all this storm will give us is some rumbles of thunder, which have been ongoing for some time now.
For those of you in Southern Tompkins and Cortland Counties, however, you can expect frequent lightning, very heavy rain, strong winds and maybe some hail. There is still no warning with this storm, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one issued soon. Also, the rotation, while still weak, has increased slightly.

Strong Storm Developing: 1:50PM Update
A thunderstorm has really blown up over Schuyler County in the last 40 minutes. As of this posting, the storm is not severe, but has prompted a "Special Weather Statement" for Tompkins County.
This storm has some weak rotation with it, along with very heavy downpours and possibly some hail. It looks as if the path of this storm will take it south of the Groton area, but Ithaca should get the storm by about 2:20. I will update on this storm in 20-30 minutes, or sooner if a warning is issued.
