Buffalo, NY – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for parts of western New York until 4 p.m. Saturday, with heavy snow and strong winds impacting travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, snowfall accumulations will range from 4 to 8 inches in higher elevations, particularly across the Tug Hill Plateau and the foothills of the Adirondacks. Lower elevations can expect 1 to 3 inches of snow. Wind gusts reaching 40 mph will contribute to blowing and drifting snow, further reducing visibility.
