Lake Effect Snow Warnings in effect until 7pm Thursday evening. Frigid cold air blowing over Lake Erie fueling squalls of heavy lake effect snow.
Winter Storm WATCH for the potential of more heavy lake effect snow from 7am Friday morning thru 7am Sunday morning.
Disorganized lake effect snow setting up this afternoon. This will produce some accumulations, especially in the snow belt. Temps will hold cold in the middle 30s all day with gusts to 40mph... that means wind chills will be in the teens and 20s. Cold, windy and snowy.
More organized Lake Effect snow will develop during this evening into Thursday. Accumulations of 6 to 12+ inches will be possible where squalls persist through Thursday evening. Another clipper moves in for the day on Friday, with more widespread snow. A few inches of snow will be possible area wide by the end of Friday afternoon.
We will end the week with even colder air and more Lake Effect in store this weekend.
The pattern of cold, breezy and at times snow looks to continue. Prep now for a couple weeks of cold, snow and wind.
