If you were driving around Western New York you might have noticed several military helicopters flying overhead.

I spotted them around 4 pm yesterday flying over the village of Hamburg.

According to a post on Facebook from the Town of Hamburg Police, those helicopters were all part of a training drill being conducted in the area.

The helicopters were conducting drills yesterday and will continue all this week until Friday afternoon. They will be performing low-altitude maneuvers and you will see and hear them throughout the afternoon.

When I saw them yesterday they were flying pretty low and we saw a couple of them.

We are not sure if the weather will have an impact on the training drills, but if the helicopters are airborne again today they will be dealing with cloudy and raining conditions.

That rain is expected across the region until this weekend when sunshine is back in the forecast with temperatures in the mid-70s.
