BATAVIA...WARSAW...JAMESTOWN...OLEAN...WELLSVILLE... ORCHARD PARK...SPRINGVILLE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ON THE INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN FREE PERIODS, MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL DEPOSIT ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL. SOUTHERN ERIE AND CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING THE LEAST ACTIVITY. THE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL CAUSE MANY AREA SMALL STREAMS TO BE NEARING BANK FULL. THE ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL CREATE ADDITIONAL RUN OFF WHICH WILL CAUSE STREAMS, DITCHES, AND CULVERTS TO POSSIBLY OVERFLOW. ADDITIONALLY, POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING AND SIGNIFICANT PONDING ON AREA ROADWAYS IS EXPECTED.
