Weather Alert in New York
Special Weather Statement issued February 18 at 9:17PM EST by NWS Buffalo NY
AREAS AFFECTED: Niagara; Northern Erie; Genesee; Wyoming; Livingston; Southern Erie
DESCRIPTION: 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.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are
smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not
impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle,
a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface.
Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can
potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.
