With temperatures expected to reach 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the Buffalo region faced a high risk of floods as the snow melts, though so far has escaped major flooding, Cuomo said Monday.

The region was braced for high winds and downed trees on Monday afternoon, with the National Weather Service warning that winds would blow at 25 to 35 miles per hour, with gusts up to 60 mph. The waterlogged ground made it more likely that trees would fall, raising the risk that homes and businesses would lose power.
