Lake-effect snow will start falling Wednesday afternoon in varying amounts across Western New York but should subside by late Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

  • A lake-effect snow advisory goes into effect at 1 p.m. Wednesday for southern Erie County and could bring between 5 and 10 inches of snow, the weather service said.
  • A lake-effect advisory also goes into effect at 4 p.m. Wednesday for Niagara, Orleans and Monroe counties. Forecasters predict from 4 to 8 inches in the most persistent snow bands.
  • Meanwhile, a lake-effect snow warning in Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties that goes into effect at 1 p.m. Wednesday may bring 8 to 14 inches in the heaviest spots, according to the weather service.

An "upstream connection" of northwest air will help to collect moisture off Lake Huron, boosting snowfall totals in affected areas of the Buffalo Niagara region, the weather service stated.

The advisory for southern Erie and the warning in the Southern Tier both expire at 4 p.m. Thursday. The advisory for counties along Lake Ontario expires at 7 p.m. Thursday
