LAKE ERIE FLOODING: Flooding along Lake Erie will be a concern on Monday. Right now, we are expecting an 8-9ft Lake Seiche with upwards of 19-21ft waves at the peak of the event. This will all be due to strong SW winds pushing water along our shores.#Buffalo

A look at the HRRR (1st pic) and our in-house model (2nd pic) on Monday. The HRRR is normal a bit aggressive but can at time pick up these higher end gusts a bit better. It has near 70mph in Buffalo. I think regardless as NWS says, 60-65mph is probably a safe bet!

A High Wind Watch out in WNY. Up to 65mph wind gusts possible Sunday night into Monday evening. Power outages will be possible along with lakeshore flooding along Lake Erie during this time.

While I think we get a better idea tomorrow, Models are hinting at some very strong winds Monday morning. 60-70mph gusts are being presented right now in
#WNY
. We've got plenty of rain tomorrow but these winds could be the big impact if they play out this way.

Overnight more shifts to the north with our warmer air. This means a whole lot of sleet (purple) and freezing rain (pink) here in WNY. Snow will fall at first but don't expect much.

Models continue to show there will be a VERY sharp cutoff when it comes to who gets snow and who gets ice tomorrow in WNY. Still thinking 2-5"ish inches where we can stay all snow tomorrow.

Christmas Eve Night update: Our afternoon model runs have leaned more towards a warmer solution for Friday's winter weather. I've scaled back totals a bit and expanded possible icing in WNY. Still looks like 5-7"+ from Eastern Finger Lakes into the Hudson Valley.

Ater Christmas, our next system moves in. A mid-level trough will bring the chance of snow for most and Freezing Rain potential to the Southern Tier. Chautauqua County could see up to .25" of ice but a lot of details to iron out with this one still.

A pretty tame Christmas Day for us temp-wise. Models are showing COLD air for the start of 2026 though. They typically don't handle arctic cold great this far out BUT, its looking like we could see some of the coldest weather of the season so far.

🥶 TALK ABOUT COLD 🥶 Parts of Alaska and NW Canada are beyond frigid this morning. YES, that is -61°F (around -52°C) in the Yukon Territory in the past 12 hours. By the way, this doesn't include the wind chill for any of these spots. NO THANKS!!!

While things look relatively mild for Christmas, models were once hinting at a warmer stretch of weather into 2026. That has seemed to change with the possibility of a pretty cold shot of air across the Northeast. Time to see if this trend holds.

We ended up with a very narrow band of heavy snow from Northern Erie county stretching into the central part of the state. This has thrown off amounts there but 1-2" for everyone else like we were thinking!

Ice Cover is off to a very quick start! We do have a more "normal" looking temperature outlook for the rest of the month, so don't expect the ice to grow as fast as it has recently.
