WESTERN NEW YORK FORECAST SUMMARY Forecast Discussion for BUF NWS Office
SYNOPSIS... A fast-moving area of low pressure will track from near Lake
Superior to Quebec through tonight, while pushing its cold front across our
region, with the frontal passage marked by another round of gusty winds and
a few light rain and snow showers. Colder air pouring across the region in
the wake of the front will then result in some lake effect snow showers
east-southeast of the lakes Sunday and Sunday night, with light to modest
accumulations expected. High pressure and drier air will then bring an end
to the lake effect snow showers later Sunday night and Monday.
