Narrative:
Approaching jhw; we were assigned to cross oynem intersection at 4000'; then afterwards we were cleared for the (RNAV/GPS 25) approach. Also; we were notified of traffic at our 12 o'clock; 500' above us and descending. Just prior to crossing oynem; we broke out of the clouds and began looking for traffic; as well as descending to 3800'. The traffic continued towards us and descended. Within a moment; the TCAS advised us to descend. I disconnected the autopilot and began a descent. Within seconds; we both saw the light single a few hundred feet above us in a turn to his left. We advised buffalo of the RA and continued the approach and landed uneventfully.onboard safety systems (TCAS) advised us of conflicting traffic.I disconnected the autopilot and began a descent; at least 200 feet below my next minimum altitude of 3800'.as a crew; I believe we functioned correctly; both in identifying the conflicting traffic and the subsequent compliance with the TCAS RA. We were on an IFR flight plan near messy thunderstorms; so I can't conclude what the traffic was doing at that exact location. [Aircraft Y] did not appear to be on an IFR flight plan. TCAS is the valuable solution here and we'll continue to utilize this onboard tool.
