First Defense: Severe Storm Threat Continues South And East Through The Afternoon

JAMESTOWN – A line of severe thunderstorms moved though the Southern Tier between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. However, the threat for additional severe storms continues for areas south and east of the Southern Tier.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is currently in effect for Warren County, PA until 8 p.m. this evening. The potential exists for a few thunderstorms that could produce damaging winds, large hail and heavy rain.

NOAA Storm Prediction Center also maintains the standard Slight Risk (level 2/5) across all of Western New York and much of Northwest Pennsylvania.

Storms will come to an end by the evening hours tonight, just time time for the Bills/Colts preseason game at New Era Field. Temps will go from 70 around kickoff to 67 by the time 4th Quarter starts.

There still could be a few showers overnight across the Southern Tier. Lows will range 55 on the hills to 63 across the Lake Erie Shoreline.

Tomorrow will be mainly dry but there is a small chance for a sprinkle or isolated rain shower in the afternoon. Highs will be nice and comfortable in the lower to mid 70’s.
