Buffalo 0.5 Degree Reflectivity Loop |
| The above radar loop shows the progress of the severe thunderstorms that crossed Western New York. There are a number of severe cells on this image. The tornadic cell moves from just west of Buffalo across central Erie county and then Wyoming county where it drops the tornado. A second severe cell crosses Cattaraugus and Allegany counties toward the end of the loop. This cell produced straight line wind damage as it raced across that area. Finally, a couple of smaller cells that crossed Niagara and Orleans counties to the north of Buffalo produced extensive hail that resulted in substantial damage to the cherry crops in that area. |
