Buffalo, NY – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for parts of upstate New York, with heavy snow and gusty winds expected to create hazardous travel conditions through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, the advisory begins at 8 p.m. Monday and remains in effect until 6 p.m. Wednesday for Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties. Snowfall totals are expected to range between 4 and 9 inches, with the heaviest accumulation across the Tug Hill Plateau. Wind gusts may reach up to 40 mph, further reducing visibility and increasing travel difficulty.
Commuters in areas such as Watertown, Lowville, and Oswego should prepare for slick, snow-covered roads during both the Tuesday morning and evening rush hours. Elevated terrain and areas east of the Black River Valley are expected to bear the brunt of the system.
Travelers are urged to slow down, allow extra time, and use caution, especially during low visibility. Local authorities may issue road condition updates, and residents are encouraged to monitor weather alerts closely. The storm system follows a period of milder weather, making it a sharp seasonal shift for the region.
