SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SATURDAY…
NWS Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Western New York under a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms, with potentially damaging straight-line winds being the primary threat. Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible south and east of Buffalo.
Tonight will remain cloudy with periods of rain. The temperatures will rise overnight. The lows will be in the upper 40s to the lower 50s. The winds will strengthen tonight with peak wind guts around 45 mph.
Soaking rain will start the day tomorrow but will quickly wrap up by 9:00 a.m. Most of the morning will remain dry with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will develop by the afternoon. Some of the thunderstorms will be strong and could turn severe. Damaging straight-line winds are our main concern with these storms. The tornado risk is very low but not zero. The wind will remain strong throughout the day, with peak wind gusts around 55 mph. Once the cold front passes, cold air will rush in, and the temperatures will quickly fall during the evening hours.
Sunday will be mostly sunny and cool with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s.
