A warm front will lift across the region on Monday, boosting temperatures into the 40s. Temperatures will remain in the 40s through Monday night into Tuesday. The warm-up, combined with a quarter to half-inch of rainfall that is expected during the period will enhance the risk of ice jams along area creeks in the Buffalo metro area, in addition to ice-jam prone areas in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, including along Cattaraugus Creek and Sunset Bay.
