Getting ready to welcome the start of 2026! #Buffalo #WNY

💨💨💨Officially a 70mph wind gust at the airport in #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

Along with our windy weather today, NWS now calling for about a foot of snow in the #Buffalo metro. Also Multiple feet in southern Erie county and the Southern Tier between now and Thursday morning. #WNY #NYwz

Update from NWS Buffalo. Now calling for possibly seeing 75mph wind gusts along the lakeshore and near downtown #Buffalo! #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Alright yall I am heading home for the night and through New Year's Day! A big weather day with strong winds, and snow ramping up on Monday. I'll let you know if anything changes. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Rain has started here in #WNY already. We've got more rain, ice, snow, and some strong winds over the next few days across New York. Let's talk about it! #Buffalo #Rochester #Syracuse #Albany #NYwx

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 #WNY #NYwx

Flood watches, High Wind Warnings, Winter Storm Warnings. We've got a lot going on over the next 24hrs. Make sure you stay up to date with the weather as everything rolls through! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

Widespread rain moves in around lunchtime. Looking like a soggy day to watch the Bills play. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

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! #WNY #NYwx

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. #buffalo #rochester #wny #nywx #wxonthe1s

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. #Buffalo #NYwx

Looking a bit better on our Saturday. Rain moves in Sunday afternoon. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Freezing rain Holley NY

An icy day in #Buffalo Picked up around .14" of ice at the station! #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Getting a few reports of around .1" of Freezing Rain in Erie and Orleans counties. Let me know what you are seeing as we head into the evening! #Buffalo #WNy #NYwx

We've already started to see some sleet fall in the area. This is what things will most likely look like by the time we are done tonight. #Buffalo #WNy #NYwx #wxonthe1s

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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYqx

The downward trend with any snowfall continues. Tonight's model runs are looking very sleet/ice heavy with tomorrow's system, even into Buffalo. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

Have a great Christmas! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

No complaints for our Christmas Day weather! #Buffalo #NYwx #wxonthe1s

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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

🥶 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. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

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!

Had to mentally prepare myself for the cold wind along the Lakeshore 🥶🥶 but decided to get my steps in by the outer harbor today. #Buffalo #WNY

Some very light snow accumulations Monday night ahead of more light snow Tuesday morning. Looking dry but mild for Christmas #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Some cold weather for our Sunday. Can't rule out some light snow. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Sunday morning is the #Winter Solstice. This marks the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. GREAT NEWS is we start to gain sunlight heading into the month of January. #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Pretty decent lake-effect band set up over southern Erie county. We could see 4-6" of snow out of this band by the time things wrap up going into tomorrow here and into Southern Tier. #Buffalo #WNy #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Warm very early in the morning with rain. 20/30s in the afternoon with snow on Friday.Will be windy as well! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Rain moves in overnight with temps in the upper 40s. 30s/20s with snow by the afternoon. Talk about weather whiplash! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

So, time to play a round of "spot the cold front" #Buffalo #WNY #CNy #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Our warmest day in about 21 days on the way tomorrow. It will be WINDY as well, those Christmas decorations might fly down the street! #buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

A Blustery Thursday night on the way! 50-60mph wind gusts along a cold front could cause some power outages across #WNY. #Buffalo #NYwx

#LakeErie 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. #Buffalo #WNY #GreatLakes

Some views from my morning walk around Niagara Falls. Warmer weather this week and rain will likely erode a good chunk of the snow on the ground. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #NiagaraFalls

Walking around Niagara Falls on this cold Tuesday morning. #NiagaraFalls #NY #Buffalo #WNY #NewYork

We ended up with 4-6" in and around the #Buffalo metro from yesterday's snow. Now we slowly warm up into Thursday where we could see 40s for highs! #WNY #NYwx

Some changes in the overnight guidance means a slightly lower ceiling for today's snow. Still thinking 4-6" for #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx

More snow on the way tomorrow! Thinking 4-6" in #Buffalo in the afternoon and evening. #WNy #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Looking one way, the sunset. The other way snow falling over the city. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

Snow moves in tomorrow afternoon for everyone. We then see a lake effect band set up into the evening. Thinking 4-6" for Buffalo tomorrow. Travel will be dicey with low visibility during the evening commute. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

It will feel like it is in the single digits on Sunday. More snow on the way Monday, with another 3-5" possible between now and then in Buffalo. #WNy #NYwx #Buffalo #wxonthe1s

🥶 COLD SUNDAY 🥶 When you throw in the wind, it is going to feel like the single digits all day tomorrow for most of the state. Bundle up if you are heading out! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s

A pretty decent band of snow coming off of Lake Erie today. Now settled down in Southern Erie county right now. #buffalo #wny #Nywx

Cold weather and snow this weekend. Looking much warmer next week! #Buffalo #WNy #NYwx #wxonthe1s
