** WINTER STORM WATCH **

Erie County has been placed under a Winter Storm Watch from Monday night through Wednesday night ahead of incoming heavy snowfall. As of right now, a general 8 to 16 inches is expected which will make for hazardous travel conditions. The worst travel conditions will be throughout the day on Tuesday. Heavy lake effect bands will significantly reduce visibility and make for dangerous travel at times. Some areas may be hit harder than others, depending on lake effect band placement. 

NOTE: Snowfall accumulations may extend outside of the warned areas and I will have a snowfall map out later this evening. 

Stay tuned and stay safe!
