BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — T.S. Eliot once wrote, "April can be the cruelest month." Western New Yorkers may feel the same way this week. Heading into tonight, most of us will just stay on the cloudy side, but into the S. Tier, it's possible that the northern fringe of all that moisture causing severe weather in the mid-Mississippi valley, makes its way into that area, with a touch of light snow or some flurries.
Monday looks largely dry, and we'll even see some partial sunshine. Not a bad day, but it will be a bit cool with highs into the lower 40s. The breeze will pick up later Monday afternoon and evening, as a cold front approaches. This is when temperatures tumble. By Tuesday morning, the S. Tier is back into the teens, while Buffalo is in the lower 20s. Highs during the day in many locales may not even crack freezing.
The arrival of this front also means showers of rain and wet snow changing to a brief period of all snow overnight Monday night into Tuesday morning. Don't be shocked to see a coating of snow on the grass, especially on our hilltops, when you wake up early Tuesday morning.
Temperatures will make a recovery late week with highs back into the 50s, but we will be dodging raindrops once again.
