Buffalo, NY – Western New York is preparing for a significant winter storm Monday, bringing heavy snow and powerful winds. Areas east of Lake Ontario could see up to 12 inches of snow, while wind gusts of up to 60 mph are forecast along Interstate 90 and surrounding regions.
According to the National Weather Service, a High Wind Watch will take effect Monday morning and continue through late Monday night.

Lake Effect Snow Warnings are also in place, particularly for Jefferson County and other areas near the lake.
Residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items and prepare for challenging travel conditions. Drivers along I-90 and other major roadways should remain cautious, as blowing snow could make visibility dangerously low.
