Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to the onset of winds. The winds are part of a warming trend this weekend that could see temperatures peak in the upper 60s on Sunday, approaching record highs for the day. Forecast highs for Sunday include 68 degrees in Batavia, near 70 in Dansville, 69 in Geneseo, 66 in Warsaw and 68 in Albion.

The warmth and rain has raised some flooding concerns as current creek and river flows continue to be above normal, particularly in the Tonawanda Creek and Black Creek areas. Flows are also above normal in the Genesee and Allegany river basins and near normal for Buffalo-area creeks, according to the Weather Service.
