Sound reasoning to issue a Flood WATCH for Western NY given the melting and the rain. It just means we're monitoring the potential. Any flooding that could take place will be MINOR and confined to low lying areas. #Buffalo #WNY #WX pic.twitter.com/izeKQDmH55

It will remain unseasonably mild over the next few days with gradually melting of the snowpack. We'll also be dodging some raindrops through early Sunday.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Erie County that lasts through Sunday morning at 10 a.m. At this point, all indications suggest this is a pre-cautionary measure, as any flooding that could take place in and around Erie County would likely be minor and confined to low lying locations and typical flood prone locales. Be on the lookout for ponding of water on some low-lying roadways.
