A high-wind watch for Wednesday and Thursday has been issued by the National Weather Service in Buffalo. Plenty of rain and snow also is being forecast for Wednesday with lake-effect snows forecast for Wednesday evening and Thursday night as the first winter storm may be headed to our region. In addition, winds – gusting up to 55 mph – are expected to hit our area.
