High Wind Warning expires for WNY

Power outages, downed trees, and difficult travel were all possible Sunday midday.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A High Wind Warning has been issued for all of Western New York except Allegany County for Sunday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

That alert has been allowed to expire.

Winds during this time will be sustained between 25 to 35 mph and gusts could be as strong as 60 mph.

These gusty winds will make for some difficult travel, especially for tractor trailers on the 90, increase the potential for some downed trees and power lines too. These strong southwest winds will also help boost temperatures on Sunday as well into the mid to upper 60s. Some areas have the potential to surge into the low 70s as well. 

Then, the first low's cold front will move through Sunday evening. It will still be breezy, just not as gusty with this front. Temperatures will drop too, into the mid to upper 30s for Monday. 

The low looks to pass right over Western New York, which will bring a bit of a mix across our region. Expect rain showers for areas in the Southern Tier and a wintry mix for areas in and around Downtown. For those right along Lake Ontario, that is where you'll find a better chance for wet snow. The system will transition over to some snow late in the day on Monday. Snow accumulations are possible, particularly Monday night and into Tuesday morning, with the possibility of a couple of inches.
