Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Lake effect snow bands are targeting the southtowns and southern tier Sunday, with a Lake Effect Snow Warning posted for southern Erie County through midday with the potential for 3 to 6 inches of additional snow accumulation.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in place for the southern tier counties as well as Wyoming County through 1pm Sunday with an additional 2 to 4 inches of accumulation possible.
"We don't really have much of a break," says National Weather Service meteorologist Heather Kenyon who tells WBEN snow will again be in the weather picture this coming week. "It looks like we're going to see a widespread light snowfall starting Monday afternoon into Monday night." Kenyon expects a couple inches of accumulation from that general system.
Below normal temperatures are forecast through the coming work week.
