Regional radars showing an intense band of snow moving north across
Western NY, with confirmed snowfall rates of 3-4"/hr and
extremely large dendrite conglomorates. A few spotter reports
and webcam imagery show sleet mixing in close to Lake Erie, a
result of strong downsloping off the higher terrain of NW PA and
the Southern Tier. This mix with sleet won`t last too long, but
may briefly spread into other areas in Western and Central NY
overnight. We expect the heaviest snowfall rates of 2-4"/hr to
fall between now and 6am, then snowfall rates will back off to a
more manageable 1-2" per hour.
