A brief tornado touched down east of Buffalo along I-90 yesterday at around 4:00pm. According to the U.S. National Weather Service Riverton Facebook page, there was rotation caught on radar at the time. A brief video of what appears to be the tornado was posted on the page. One comment from the Weather Service said the video could have been of what is known as a “gustnado” or a circulation that forms along the leading edge of a gust front in the rain-cooled air. However, if the video was taken directly beneath the updraft of the storm and attached to a wall cloud, it was more than likely a tornado. No damage was reported.
