Buffalo, New York – A fast-moving clipper system is expected to bring another round of snow to the Buffalo area tonight, continuing into the overnight hours. According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, snowfall amounts will be modest, with minor accumulations expected across the region.
Areas along the I-90 corridor, including Buffalo and surrounding neighborhoods, can expect a dusting to 2 inches of snow. However, localized areas, particularly the Tug Hill Plateau, could see snow accumulation amounts ranging from 2 to 4 inches by Saturday morning.
The NWS advises motorists to be cautious, as slick spots will develop across roadways later this evening. Although snow accumulations will not be extensive, the wet conditions combined with colder temperatures may cause localized icy spots, especially on bridges and overpasses. Travelers on roads like I-90, I-190, and I-290 should be prepared for slippery conditions during the evening commute and overnight hours.
In terms of snow coverage, a general light snow will persist through the night, with little to no additional accumulation expected by Saturday morning. However, spotty snow showers may linger into the early hours of Saturday.
The National Weather Service reminds residents and drivers to be cautious of changing road conditions as the snow begins to accumulate. It is recommended to reduce speeds, especially in areas where the snow is expected to fall more heavily, like the Tug Hill Plateau.
For those traveling or commuting tonight and tomorrow morning, it’s essential to stay updated on weather conditions and plan for possible delays or hazardous driving conditions.
