Flash Flood Warning expires for portions Chautauqua, Cattaraugus counties Saturday night

Slow moving thunderstorms dumped heavy rain and caused a few roads closures Saturday evening.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Flash Flood Warning for portions of southern Chautauqua County and western Cattaraugus County was allowed to expire at 10 p.m. Saturday.

Slow moving thunderstorms have dumped heavy rain across the region and caused a few road closures in southern Chautauqua County. As of 9 p.m., rainfall reports from within the warned area ranged from about an inch to an inch and a half of rain.

This is after the remnants of tropical storm Fred brought more heavy rain to the Southern Tier earlier this week. Thankfully, it looks like any potential rain from hurricane Henri will stay far to our east.

As of 9 pm, here are a few rain totals from within the Flash Flood Warned area. Only seen a couple reports of closed roads due to runoff from creeks/streams.

The storms that produced this heavy rainfall over the Southern Tier are finally fizzling out. #StormTeam2 @WGRZ #nywx pic.twitter.com/2fswYSNAAk
