New York — Light snow drifts across Buffalo this morning, dusting cars and coating rooftops as temperatures hover near 32 degrees. Roads remain mainly wet for now, but bursts of snow could quickly turn slick in heavier bands.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, scattered snow showers continue through the day with highs near 34 degrees. Minor accumulation is possible, especially south of the city. Winds from the southwest gust up to 28 mph, reducing visibility at times.
Snow becomes steadier Sunday, with an 80% chance of accumulation and highs near 36 degrees. Another round continues Sunday night, with lows dipping to 28. Lake-effect snow showers persist into Monday, when highs slide back to 32 degrees and north winds gust over 20 mph.
Plan extra travel time late Sunday into Monday. Bridges along I-190 and the Skyway can turn icy first. This is prime flash-freeze season. Slush that melts during daylight may refreeze quickly after sunset.
Colder air deepens Tuesday. Highs struggle near 22 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Wind chills will dip into the teens early, making it feel biting along the Lake Erie shoreline.
Midweek brings a transition. Snow showers may mix with rain by Wednesday as highs rebound toward the upper 30s. Longer-range signals hint at moderating temperatures late next week, with highs climbing back into the mid-30s and even upper 30s by Friday — early signs of gradual spring moderation.
