Lake effect snow warning starting tonight in CNY – CNYcentral.com

Now 32 Tue 22 Wed 22by Meteorologist Sam PostichTOPICS:The National Weather Service has issued Lake Effect Snow Warnings to start at 4PM today for counties north of Syracuse. A low-pressure system tracking across the Great Lakes will send a cold front through the state today with strong westerly winds behind the front. Those westerly winds overnight will produce heavy lake effect snow across the Tug Hill region, Oswego County, and northern Oneida County. Gusty winds and continued snowfall for areas north of Syracuse will result in feet accumulation by Tuesday night. Even by Tuesday night Syracuse will still have less than an inch of snow. Overnight Tuesday is when northwesterly winds push the lake effect finally into Syracuse. Moderate to light snowfall will impact the Wednesday morning commute with an estimated 2-5″ possible downtown Syracuse. If you have travel plans Tuesday through central Oswego County, or in the higher elevations make sure to do so carefully and to expect rapidly deteriorating road conditions. This cold front today will drop temperatures through the rest of the work week with high temperatures staying below freezing with gusty winds.
