Buffalo, NY – Western New York is preparing for a round of strong to severe thunderstorms on Monday as a passing cold front moves through the region. The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued an alert, forecasting that parts of the Finger Lakes region and the western Southern Tier could experience strong gusty winds and small hail.
According to the National Weather Service, the thunderstorms are expected to occur in two waves: one during the midday and another in the later part of the afternoon. The primary threats from these storms include strong gusty winds, which could cause localized damage and power outages, and small hail.
