Buffalo, NY – A Lake Effect Snow Warning is in effect for Northern Erie and Genesee counties from 10 a.m. Monday through 4 a.m. Wednesday. Significant snowfall is expected to create hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, snow accumulations could reach 10 to 29 inches in areas most affected, including South Buffalo, the Buffalo Southtowns, and southwestern Genesee County. The heaviest snowfall is anticipated between Monday night and Tuesday.
Travelers should prepare for very poor visibility and deep snow accumulation on roads. Rapid changes in weather conditions may occur, with heavy snow in some areas and clearer conditions just miles away.
