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.

Pay attention to your local temperatures and maintain awareness for rapidly changing driving conditions in these areas.

About
Silver Lake State Park is a 776-acre state park located near the south end of Silver Lake in the Town of Castile, Wyoming County, New York. The park offers a variety of day-use recreational opportunities centered around the lake and surrounding uplands. The boat launch facility accommodates boats up to 16 feet in length and is open year-round, with docks available from late April through mid-October. The park requests that boaters winch boats onto trailers rather than power loading to preserve bottom conditions. Fishing is popular on Silver Lake, with both open-water and ice fishing opportunities depending on the season. For land-based activities, the park features picnic facilities including a pavilion that accommodates up to 56 people and is available for rental through ReserveAmerica. Hiking trails traverse the property, and in winter, multiple-use trails are available for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The upland section of the park is open for big and small game hunting in season by permit through a self-registration system. Year-round public restrooms serve park visitors. The park is open daily from 6am to 11pm, with a $6 vehicle use fee collected via automated kiosk.
