The Southern Tier could see a stray stronger storm this afternoon and a few severe storms tomorrow as well. Outside of that area, everyone will see a chance of heavy downpours, will be a pretty soggy day for us on Wednesday.

Not weather related but a fun project I have been working on! I took a drone photo I got back in February. Cut it out, and I 3D modeled what you see. I'm thinking of something to put on a desk? I am going to put it into my 3d printer soon and see how it turns out!

Keeping a very close eye in this storm for severe/tornadic potential. If we see something this is the leading candidate imo right now for #WNY

Models have shifted things back closer to 2-6 PM for storms to fire up this evening. There is still a bit of uncertainty on how this all evolves, but here is at least what one model shows. SPC has upped Tornado risk slightly right near the PA border and points south. #NYwx #Buffalo #WNY

A few showers and a rumble of thunder possible overnight then, we will be watching for storms from 1-5PM to bring the potential for severe weather. I'll be in tomorrow afternoon tracking it with the weather team for you! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

SATURDAY: A line of storms will bring a wind and hail threat mainly off the lakeshore (along the lake impacted by lake ice/cooler air). The Southern Tier will see a very small chance that the storms spin enough to see a brief tornado. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

OUR FIRST SPRING STORMS
We mentioned storms are looking likely on Saturday. Well, the SPC has included #WNY and #Buffalo in a 2 of 5 risk for severe storms Sat. This will mainly be a wind and hail driven event. I've included what our GRAF model shows currently. #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Showers in the morning and then once again end the day. I can't rule out a quick glazing of ice near Lake Ontario and points just south. Overall looking unsettled for the next few days. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

After a sunny afternoon today we are back to rain tomorrow. There is the potential for even a few rumbles of thunder although right now, I think Saturday looks like a better day for seeing thunderstorms here in the region. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

While I showed some numbers earlier let's talk about the possibility of a big pattern change going into next month. Could mean the possibility of much warmer weather on the way. We will see! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx
