Lake Effect Snow Diminishes by Friday
Heavy lake effect snow affecting the Rochester area is expected to diminish by Friday. A Yellow Alert has been lifted as the most intense snow has passed. However, some lingering snowfall will continue over northern Monroe and Wayne Counties, particularly north of Route 104.
Forecast for Northern Monroe and Wayne Counties
In the affected areas, residents can expect a few additional inches of snow. This accumulation may cause slippery road conditions as temperatures remain significantly below freezing. Friday should bring a noticeable change, with mainly cloudy skies and temperatures ranging from the mid to upper 20s.
Looking Ahead to the Weekend
As we approach the weekend, another weather front will lead to sporadic snowfall on Saturday. Early snow flurries may originate from Lake Erie, with a greater likelihood of widespread snow showers as the cold front moves in. Overall, snow accumulation will likely remain modest, ranging from a coating up to two inches.
Cold Temperatures and Snow Showers on Sunday
- Temperatures on Sunday will begin in the single digits.
- Daytime highs will barely reach the teens.
- Wind chill will make conditions feel colder, especially in the morning.
- Lake Ontario is expected to deliver additional snow showers, with a few inches possible.
Looking ahead, next week promises a series of storms, signaling an active weather pattern. There are indications that the frigid temperatures may ease, potentially leading to mixed precipitation of rain and snow.
