Sloppy Wet Weather Expected This Afternoon In Western New York

It will be a dry start to our day in Western New York but that will change later this afternoon.

We are looking at a cloudy start today but rain and wet snow are on the way to most of Western New York with a majority of the snow in the Southtowns and Southern Tier.

The rain and wet snow is expected to move in early this afternoon and it could create some issues for the commute home from work or school. The rain and wet snow will create slushy conditions and that could lead to possible accidents as stopping could become more difficult.
