Tornado warning issued for Genesee, Wyoming Counties

Gusty winds and hail are possible with some of the thunderstorms moving through this evening.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A tornado warning has been issued for Genesee and Wyoming Counites until 9 p.m. Monday. This warning has been allowed to expire.

A low-pressure system off to the northwest will drop down and bring rain and thunderstorms into this evening. The main time frame is expected to be between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning in effect for northeastern Erie County and southwestern Niagara County until 5:15 p.m. was allowed to expire, as a severe storm near Niagara Falls with gusty damaging winds of 60 mph and quarter-size hail moving southeast, had weakened.  However several trees and powerlines were reported down in Grand Island near Whitehaven Road and Fourth Street, from the storm that moved through there.
