Three-Day Forecast

Moderate Drought Expands

Here is the three-day forecast for Western and Central NY. Periods of light rain and/or snow continue through most of this weekend. Snow will be the predominant precipitation type in the higher terrain, while lower elevations will experience rain that will mix with or change to wet snow at times, especially each late evening through the following morning.

One of the downsides to the recent stretch of nice weather is that moderate drought conditions have expanded across WNY. While there will be several precipitation events through the weekend, this precipitation will likely be light and have very little influence on the developing drought conditions.
