A warm front brought a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain into Western New York early Monday morning making the commute to work and school slow and slick. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for all of Western New York until 1 p.m. Monday. Meteorologist Jeff Wood of the Buffalo office of the National Weather Service

"As we kind of the sloppy, wintry mix on the roads are going to become very slick and drivers need to exercise a lot of caution," said Wood.

Wood expects only a fraction of an inch of icy precipitation this morning, but its arrival during drive time will complicate the commute. 

"The worst of it is going to be more toward the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes," said Wood.  "Most of the ice should disappear relativity quickly during the day today," said Wood.

Temperatures will begin to creek into the forties.

Mild, wet weather is forecasted for most of Tuesday and Wednesday.  

 

Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. - 10 a.m.
