This watch comes ahead of possible severe storms which are expected to move into the area this morning, which could bring locally damaging wind gusts and “perhaps a tornado.”
At this time, Erie and Crawford Counties are not included in the watch.
A wind advisory remains in effect for Erie, PA county and Chautauqua, NY county until 6 am this morning, with winds around 20 to 30 miles per hour and gusts up to 50 miles per hour.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.

Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes.
