Residents of Buffalo, NY, should be prepared for another round of light snow tonight, as a fast-moving clipper system sweeps through the region. Snowfall is expected to begin after 6 PM, potentially leading to minor accumulations, particularly on roadways. The National Weather Service forecasts that snow will linger into Saturday with little additional accumulation expected.
According to the latest forecast, the Genesee Valley and areas to the west are likely to receive about an inch or less of snow, while regions to the east—stretching from the Genesee Valley to Watertown—could see 1-3 inches, with localized amounts of up to 4 inches in some spots. This weather system could create slippery road conditions, especially for those traveling during the evening and overnight hours.
The forecast also predicts high temperatures around 31°F for Buffalo and surrounding areas, which means the snow could accumulate quickly, particularly on untreated surfaces. Drivers should be cautious on the roads, especially on secondary routes, as the light snow could reduce visibility and create slick patches.
By Friday morning, conditions should improve, with dry weather expected to return. However, with the snow still falling tonight, road conditions may remain hazardous through the evening commute. Be sure to allow extra time for travel and stay updated on any further weather advisories.
If you have evening plans or need to drive, consider adjusting for potentially slow-moving traffic and winter road conditions. Keep an eye on your local weather updates for the latest snowfall information and take steps to stay safe during this brief snow event.
