Precipitation type will be mainly snow in most areas late this
afternoon and tonight, although there may be some rain mixed in at
the onset before evaporative cooling takes hold and cools the
boundary layer. Accumulations will be relatively minor late this
afternoon through tonight, limited by warm surface temperatures and
poor snow:water ratios. Expect the greatest accumulations across the
higher terrain of the western Southern Tier and Boston Hills, with 2-
3 inches. Expect around an inch for the Niagara Frontier, and less
than an inch from the Genesee Valley eastward to the lower
elevations east of Lake Ontario. The Tug Hill Plateau will see 2-4
inches tonight, greatest across the southern end with local
southerly upslope enhancement.
