... Strong Thunderstorms This Morning ...

A line of strong thunderstorms is bearing down upon Western New
York this morning. Within this activity is frequent lightning,
heavy downpours and strong wind gusts.

The stronger storms will reach Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Hamburg
and Jamestown between 5 AM and 6 AM. This activity, weakening
farther inland will pass across the region through 8 AM.

Downpours of rain within these storms will lower visibility this
morning, and cause ponding of water on low lying or poor drainage roadways.
