Severe thunderstorm, possible tornado could hit this evening
The National Weather Service is warning that strong thunderstorms are possible this evening after 5 p.m., with a chance for an isolated tornado in Orleans, Genesee, Niagara or northern Erie counties.
The Weather Service said “a robust cold front” is crossing the Lower Great Lakes and will generate a line of moderately heavy showers and possibly some strong to severe thunderstorms between 5 and 7 p.m.
The storm could bring damaging straight line winds in excess of 60 miles per hour.
Most areas should average a quarter inch of rainfall with isolated amounts of one half inch, the Weather Service said.
