There's a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for Genesee County, but there's also only a 40 percent chance of participation in Batavia.
What looks like, from the radar, a big storm cell just passed to the north of us (possibly dumping rain on the north parts of the county), and there are more cells moving west to east.
The watch is in effect until 8 p.m.
UPDATE 4:51 p.m.: A flood warning as been issued for the norther parts of Genesee County:
AT 432 PM EDT RADAR ESTIMATED GREATER THAN 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF GENESEE AND SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF MONROE COUNTY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE ALONG A LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY...WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF UP TO AN INCH POSSIBLE BETWEEN 430 AND 600 PM.
