A line of severe thunderstorms moving through western and central New York and north-central Pennsylvania has triggered a rolling series of Tornado Warnings, a region-wide Tornado Watch, and numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings on the evening of Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
The National Weather Service offices in Buffalo, Binghamton, and State College have issued multiple radar-indicated tornado warnings since roughly 7:30 PM EDT, with damaging winds up to 70 mph and hail up to golf-ball size reported. As storms track eastward, warnings are expiring in one county and being issued in the next — this article was last updated around 8:45 PM EDT.
Update: the earlier tornado warnings for Livingston/Allegany County, NY and Centre/Clinton County, PA (first reported ~8:12–8:16 PM EDT) have expired or been replaced as the storm line moved east.
