At 12:30pm in Buffalo, NY the temperature is 39°F with overcast skies. Today, we will reach a high temperature of 45°F with gray skies hanging around. Lows tonight will dip below freezing again and clouds will remain in the area. There is an area of low pressure over the South producing heavy rainfall across the gulf states. The moisture associated with this storm system extends north to the Ohio River valley. As this moisture progresses eastward, it should pass to our south but will produce gray skies through the weekend. Initially my forecast for the remainder of the week indicated fair and cool weather for Buffalo, now computer models are reconfiguring a coastal storm that now has the potential to produce unsettled conditions. A chance of precipitation is now likely from Thursday night onward to through this weekend. The bulk of the moisture from this developing coastal storm will remain east of Western New York, however we could have precipitation make its way into the region. Due to the recent cold temperatures the atmosphere is likely to be cold enough to support a mixture of wet snow and rain here into Friday evening. In the higher elevations of the Northeast, this coastal storm has the potential to produce heavy wet snow, with trees still foliated we can expect dangerous conditions with fallen trees and slushy roads. This Nor'easter will pack some strong gusty winds and heavy precipitation along the coast posing a threat to the scheduled game 1 of the American League Championship Series in the Bronx versus the Angels from Anaheim.
