Winter Weather Advisory for Northern Erie, Niagara, and Orleans Counties until 10am Wednesday for 2 to 5 inches of snow.
The lake band strengthens overnight and focus on Buffalo. At onset there could be rain mixing in near the lake shore to limit accumulations, then into the overnight it gets cold enough for all snow. And inland, in the most persistent portion of the band which remains snow, you can expect 3-5" of accumulation. Expect snow early Wednesday morning to change to rain as the morning moves along and the band shifts a bit south as temperatures warm up to near 40. The last areas to see the switch to rain will be the hill tops east and south of Buffalo for Wednesday afternoon.
