Continuing with today’s Severe Weather Awareness topic of Watches and Warnings. A Tornado WATCH means Be Prepared. A Tornado WARNING means Take Action! #WeatherReady

Continuing today’s Severe Weather Awareness topic of Thunderstorms, let's look into hail formation. Hail is precipitation that forms when thunderstorm updrafts carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, and freeze into hailstones.

Today’s Severe Weather Awareness topic is Thunderstorms. Did you know that there are different types of thunderstorms? Watch this video to learn what they are:

It will be a cold start today, but temperatures will rise back to just below seasonal normals. Clouds will increase throughout the day, with a growing chance of light showers tonight.

Dry, but chilly tonight with low temperatures in the 20s for much of the area, with some readings in the teens across the interior higher terrain. This will be some 10 to 15 degrees below average for the date. #nywx

Unsettled, significantly colder weather will continue through Monday night with rain and/or snow shower. Showers today could contain a few rumbles of thunder across western NY.

An NWS storm survey team has confirmed an EF-0 tornado near the Town of Farmersville, NY. The tornado was short lived with a length of 0.23 miles with peak gusts up to 80 mph.

Warm to near record warmth across our region this afternoon will be erased by a cold front bearing showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. While diminished, there is still potential for a few of these storms to bring damaging wind gusts, especially across SW NYS.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected ahead of a cold front, bringing an elevated threat of severe weather across Western New York this afternoon through this evening. Due to the saturated ground, thunderstorms may result in ponding and isolated flash flooding.

The quiet weather today will be short-lived. Tomorrow (2-8pm), a strong cold front will move through the area w/the chance for severe thunderstorms (greatest potential toward Southwestern NY). The main threat is wind. Large hail (> 1") & an isolated tornado is also possible.

Showers and patchy fog will end this morning. Cloudy conditions will continue through early afternoon, with sunshine expected to break through later today.

The patchy nature of #fog can lower visibility quickly and unexpectedly—slow down and stay alert! #WeatherReady
