Buffalo, NY – Snow showers are expected to create slippery conditions across Buffalo today, with up to 4 inches forecast by Friday night. Residents should prepare for frigid temperatures over the weekend, which could drop into the single digits.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow showers will begin Thursday afternoon, increasing overnight into Friday. Buffalo and areas along the I-90 corridor may see snowfall totals between 2 to 4 inches by late Friday. Snow accumulation may cause slick roads and reduced visibility, particularly during the Friday evening commute.
Temperatures will plummet as the coldest air of the season arrives Saturday, with highs barely reaching 18 degrees and wind chills making it feel closer to zero. Sunday is expected to be even colder, with temperatures struggling to climb out of the teens. Residents are urged to dress in layers and limit time outdoors.
The extended forecast shows gradual warming next week, with highs returning to the upper 20s by Monday and into the mid-30s by Christmas Eve. While no major storms are forecast, chances of rain or snow showers increase early next week.
Motorists should exercise caution on untreated roads and bridges. Check local weather updates before heading out, and consider delaying unnecessary travel until roads improve. Residents are also encouraged to monitor local emergency alerts for updates on weather conditions.
