Buffalo, NY – Light snow will continue across western New York through tonight, with higher accumulations expected south of Buffalo.
According to the US National Weather Service Buffalo office, periods of light snow will remain steady for much of the region, with most areas south of Lake Ontario seeing around 1 to 2 inches.
Moderate snowfall may develop at times south of Buffalo, particularly across higher terrain including Chautauqua Ridge. Forecasters say lake enhancement and upslope flow could increase totals in those areas, where an additional 3 to 5 inches is possible through tonight.
The snowfall is expected to taper during the second half of the night and into early Tuesday morning.
While widespread disruptions are not anticipated, localized heavier snow bands could create slick travel conditions overnight, especially in elevated areas south of the city. Evening commuters and overnight drivers in southern Erie and Chautauqua counties may encounter reduced visibility at times.
Officials have not issued additional warnings with this update but encourage residents to monitor local forecasts for changing conditions.
