BLOG: SNOW, WIND, COLD COMING BACK
Good morning all,Quick briefing for you as we start the weekend. Lots to talk about. Today is "no big deal", just cloudy and cooler with temperatures holding steady and then slowly falling. Not much more than a passing flurry.
SUNDAY'S SNOW
A powerful arctic front will head our way Sunday afternoon. This is being driven eat by a strong upper-level low pressure system that is technically a lobe of the polar vortex.
Snow showers are most likely with this front after 2pm. The snow showers can be briefly intense, lowering visibility and slowing travel. They will also be accompanied by gusty winds.By mid-evening Sunday, up to an inch or so of snow is possible.
LAKE EFFECT SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY
As the arctic air pours over the lakes, Lake-effect snow will get going and the wind flow will favor bands that can get down into parts of our viewing area. There can be at least a couple more inches north of I-80 and even several inches north of Rt 87. It's possible to see some light additional accumulations down to roughly Rt 224.Here's the NWS snow forecast from the front Sunday through the lake-effect Sunday night/Monday:
A Lake-Effect Snow Watch is up for the snow belt.
WIND CHILLS
Wind chills will be below zero for most of Sunday night and Monday morning, as well as Monday night/Tuesday morning.
