It may flood, it may snow, it may do both

By Howard B. Owens

A flood watch remains in effect through tomorrow night, and now the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch starting late tonight through Sunday night.

Heavy wet snow is expected with accumulations of 6 to 8 inches.

The snow is predicted to start around daybreak and taper off later in the afternoon.

Winds are expected to be 10 to 20 mph.

The weather service said its forecast confidence is "medium."

Meanwhile, rain today and snowmelt still could produce minor flooding along creeks and in poorly drained low-lying areas.

"if they just add high wind, sunshine, and clouds to that they would most certainly be confident."

Actually, that would just be normal WNY weather.
