Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Buffalo NY 1044 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 NYZ001>003-010-011-011630- Niagara-Orleans-Monroe-Northern Erie-Genesee- Including the cities of Niagara Falls, Medina, Rochester, Buffalo, and Batavia 1044 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022 ...Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Likely This Afternoon... While there will be some spotty showers and thunderstorms around through midday... strong to potentially severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across the region after 1 PM. Any storms that develop will have the risk of generating strong wind gusts in excess of 40 mph along with localized one hour rainfall amounts of one to two inches. Such rainfall could result in localized flooding and would certainly result in signifciant ponding on areas roadways. Lightning associated with these storms will also likely include a higher percentage of more intense, positively charged cloud to ground strikes. Such lightning is more deadly and is more efficient at producing damage (ie. structure fires). RSH

...Showers and Thunderstorms with Heavy Rain through 2 PM...

unsecured objects.
