A Flood Watch is in effect until 2 p.m. Thursday for all of Western New York and until 8 a.m. Thursday for McKean and Potter Counties.
A slow-moving complex storm system will slowly drift eastward across the Great Lakes over the next couple days keeping things quite unsettled. Initially, the precipitation will be in the form of rain, but colder air draining in Thursday night and for much of Friday will produce mainly snow showers.
Showers and some heavy downpours will increase midday and early afternoon Wednesday ahead of a cold frontal passage. The rain lightens up later in the day. Mixed rain/snow showers tonight, but there should be a break in the precipitation later Wednesday night and early Thursday before more mixed rain/snow showers develop mainly north and south of Buffalo.
