Hazardous weather outlook in effect, showers and thunderstorms expected

By Billie Owens

A hazardous weather outlook for portions of Western New York, including Genesee County, has been issued by the National Weather Service in Buffalo.

An "upper-level disturbance" is moving across the region today and will generate some showers and thunderstorms, some of which will include slow-moving downpours.

Since there will be the risk for multiple slow-moving downpours over the same area ("training storms"), there will be an increased risk for localized flash flooding.

By Thursday, a slow-moving cold front will cross Western New York and numerous showers and thunderstorms will occur along and ahead of this cold front, which will likely produce significant rain.
