Buffalo, NY – After a mostly quiet evening, light snow is expected to return across Western New York late tonight, with minor accumulations possible into Sunday morning.
According to the US National Weather Service in Buffalo, dry and uneventful weather will hold through the early overnight hours before snow begins redeveloping later tonight. Most lower elevations, including Buffalo in Erie County and surrounding metro areas, are expected to see under an inch of accumulation through Sunday.
However, higher terrain east of Lake Erie — including areas of southern Erie, Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties — could pick up between 1 and 2 inches by early Sunday morning. The light snowfall may create slick spots on untreated roads, especially on bridges and elevated surfaces.
Forecasters indicate the greatest probability of precipitation will develop toward daybreak Sunday, with scattered snow showers lingering into the morning hours. While no major travel disruptions are anticipated, drivers should allow extra time if traveling early Sunday, particularly across higher elevations and rural roadways.
Temperatures will remain seasonably cold overnight, helping snow accumulate on grassy and untreated surfaces.
Residents across Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Amherst, Jamestown, and surrounding communities should monitor updated forecasts in case totals trend higher.
