Flash Flood Watch Thursday Extended

The National Weather Service has extended the flash flood watch for Western New York.

The high humidity will create conditions that will be perfect for heavy rains to fall over a short period of time in parts of Western New York.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms will move across the region this morning. A stalled boundary from near Buffalo to the Finger Lakes may act as a focus for locally very heavy rainfall and numerous storms training over the same locations, which may result in flash flooding. The flash flood threat will diminish from west to east this afternoon.
