First Winter Storm

Is Possible Tonight

Forty days before winter official arrives, a snowstorm gathering strength in the central and southern Plains states is due to arrive in Western New York this afternoon and locally tonight, according to Accuweather.

Widespread snowfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are likely across the Ohio Valley and into the Northeast, with 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected from the Great Lakes into the interior New England.

“We expect a swath of higher snowfall totals from central New York to northern Maine, where accumulations could climb into the double digits,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Courtney Travis.

In the lake-effect areas from Syracuse north, up to 30 inches is anticipated.
