A Lake Effect Snow Storm could bring 10 to 18 inches of snow to Chautauqua County by Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning for Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties until 4:00 a.m. Saturday.
Heavy lake effect snow is expected. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph, producing considerable blowing and drifting snow.
Travel is expected to be very difficult with areas of blowing snow significantly reducing visibility and creating near whiteout conditions at times.
