7 Weather Noon Update, Monday, September 9

>> ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. AND WE HAD SOME RAIN ROLLED THROUGH DOWNTOWN BUFFALO ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. NOW THAT RAIN IS OFF TO OUR EAST SHOWERS ACROSS PARTS OF GENESEE COUNTY IN WYOMING COUNTY, BATAVIA TOWARD WARSAW, MOSTLY NORTH AND ALONG ROUTE. 28 PLUCK UP ALONG ROUTE 20 AND NEAR THE THRUWAY AS THE SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD. ZOOMING OUT, WE HAVE SOME STORMS 100 MILES TO THE NORTHWEST OF NAGRA FALLS MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. THAT RAIN STARTS TO APPROACH THE AREA. AT LEAST THAT ENERGY COMES IN TOWARD AROUND 03:00PM. AND WE DO HAVE A MODERATE RISK FOR A MARGINAL RISK, RATHER FOR SEVERE WEATHER, AN ERIE, NIAGARA ORLEANS AND GENESEE AND WYOMING COUNTIES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SO THESE AREAS SHADED IN DARKER GREEN. THE THREAT IS THERE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORM IN US AND THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE STORMS COULD BE SOME DAMAGING WINDS. SOME ISOLATED DOWNPOURS AND ALSO SOME HAIL WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS GOING TO BE WEATHER READY. KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. LIKE I MENTIONED AFTER AROUND 03:00PM, YOU SEE THE BRIGHTER COLORS SHOWING UP ON THE SCREEN WILL HAVE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUING THROUGHOUT 8 O'CLOCK. AND THEN AFTER THE SUN SETS A LOT OF THE HEAVIER RAINFALL, AT LEAST THE SEVERE THREAT WILL DIMINISH. SO HERE'S YOUR HOURLY FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AROUND 02:00PM. WE'RE IN THE UPPER 60'S SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AFTER THAT. BUT AROUND 8 OR 9, LOT OF THAT RAIN WILL BE WINDING DOWN. SO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDER SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. WE ALSO HAVE A NEW TROPICAL STORM. THIS IS TROPICAL STORM FRANCINE WITH WINDS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR IS FORECAST TO MOVE UP THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERN PARTS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. AND BY WEDNESDAY MORNING MOVE ON SHORE AS A CATEGORY ONE STORM WITH WINDS OF 85 MILES PER HOUR. ARE YOU PRETTY IMPRESSIVE STORM SURGE TOWARD LOUISIANA. SO JUST SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR AND THEN THIS SYSTEM MOVES UP TOWARD MEMPHIS. THURSDAY MORNING. AND THEN IT KIND OF FIZZLES OUT ACROSS THE MIDDLE. THE COUNTRY MODELS HAVE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WE HEAD INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. LOOK AT OUR TIME LIKE I MEANT WE HAD HEAVIER RAIN ROLL THROUGH BUFFALO AROUND 11:00AM. NOW WE HAVE A LITTLE SUNSHINE PEEKING THROUGH THE CLOUD COVER AND THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE NEXT ROUND OF WET WEATHER LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 66 DEGREES WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 16 MILES PER HOUR INTO THE CAMERA BOUNCING AROUND AS IT IS BREEZY, 73 AND NIAGARA FALLS. 72 IN DUNKIRK, 64 IN JAMESTOWN. HERE WE GO THIS MID AFTERNOON. NOTICE THE SHOWERS AND THUNDER SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA BY 11 O'CLOCK. MOST THE RAIN HAS COME TO AN END. TUESDAY LOOKS TERRIFIC. PARTLY CLOUDY, LOW 70'S WEDNESDAY. LOOKS WONDERFUL WITH HIGHS NEAR 80 DEGREES. THE WARMING TREND CONTINUES AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL HERE IN WESTERN NEW YORK. YOUR FORECAST FOR TODAY, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDER SHOWERS. YOUR HIGH 69 TONIGHT OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 50'S EARLY SHOWERS. OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLOUDY TOMORROW. PARTLY SUNNY. 74 NEAR 80 ON WEDNESDAY, LOW TO MID 80'S THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
