These severe storms have the ability to produce heavy downpours, large hail, gusty winds and even a possible tornado.

The greatest risk will be during the mid afternoon, so stay alert out there, especially if you plan on driving or being outside at all. These storms can happen very fast, which was evident in Western and Central New York earlier today.
