The short term forecast for Chautauqua County and southern Erie County, including the towns of Springville, Eden, Dunkirk and Jamestown. While the clouds have thinned across the region...this will lead to enough sun to help produce more thunderstorms. Do not let the temporary return of partial sunshine fool you into making outdoor plans though. There will be some isolated showers and storms through 3 PM...with a greater chance between 3 and 6 PM.
