Light snow will develop across #WNY this morning with most areas near and north of #ROC seeing 2-4" by late evening. However, slightly warmer air will cause a transition to sleet and limited freezing rain south and this will reduce snow amounts. pic.twitter.com/PLv1tqA3aS

A wintry mix storm system will change over to plain rain for areas just north of the Thruway southward to the state line. Colder air returns tonight to end this event as a little lake effect snow south and southeast of the Lakes. #nywx pic.twitter.com/olEsMgSUDp
