Showers late Saturday turn to snow late Sunday

Saturday will be mainly dry but cloudy. There could be isolated showers throughout the day, but widespread showers move in at night. The batch of rain Sunday, which eventually mixes with and changes to snow later in the day, ushers in a quick hit of wintry weather early next week. Pretty much all long-range forecast guidance is pointing to some snowfall from Sunday night into Tuesday. Since the ground is still warm, there will be some melting, but at this early point, around an inch is possible across the lower terrain including Buffalo-Niagara Falls metro, and possibly 6-9" on the higher hills of the Southern Tier especially across Chautauqua-Cattaraugus through Tuesday.
