An area of thunderstorms and associated freezing rain is advancing eastward toward western New York this evening. These thunderstorms may affect the Niagara Falls and Buffalo areas by around 11 PM. Surface temperatures will be near or slightly below freezing as they cross the area, so a short period of thunder and freezing rain is possible as they move through the area. This activity will move swiftly to the southeast, so areas in southern Genesee County and Wyoming County could see a period of thunder and freezing rain around midnight. Areas in Livingston County would be affected close to 1 AM. Any areas that are below freezing may see bridges and overpasses quickly ice up. Pay attention to your local temperatures and maintain awareness for rapidly changing driving conditions in these areas.
