Forecasters predict more than a foot of snow will fall across the region during the upcoming winter storm.

The National Weather Service predicts that a major winter storm moving north from the Carolinas will bring steady snow – occasionally heavy – to the region on Sunday night and Monday. The rest of Sunday is expected to be clear.

The Weather Service predicts more than a foot of snow for the western counties.

Starting Sunday across Western New York, winter storm warnings will be in effect for various lengths of time and with different snowfall totals depending on where you live.

After 1 p.m., wind chill advisories will also be in effect across the area. There is a chance tonight’s wind chill values will not meet the advisory criteria of 15 degrees below zero due to decreased wind speeds, the Weather Service said in a forecast discussion this morning. However, advisories could be issued later should conditions change, as temperatures are expected to fall between zero and five degrees below zero.

For Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and southern Erie counties, the National Weather Service has issued the most severe winter storm warnings, stating that 12 to 18 inches of snow is possible.
