This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western New York.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

   Winter Weather Advisory.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

A period of moderate to heavy rain will pass across Western New York
Sunday and into Monday before changing to snow later Monday behind a
strong cold front. Temperatures ahead of the cold front will warm
sufficiently above freezing to allow for a good deal of higher
terrain snowmelt that when combined with potentially an inch or more
of rainfall will swell area creeks and rivers...with a small chance
that a few creeks or streams may exceed their banks. Additional low
lying ponding of water is likely.

Behind the cold front southwest to west winds will become strong,
likely gusting into the advisory range later Monday and through early
Tuesday.

As cold air deepens lake effect snow will become likely late Monday
afternoon and through much of next work week. Oscillating bands of
lake effect snow through the week will produce locally heavy
accumulations. Still windy conditions through Tuesday will allow for
the lake snows to blow and drift with very poor visibilities.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.

This product, along with other watches, warnings, advisories, and
statements issued by the National Weather Service office in Buffalo
