- Lake-effect snow warnings and winter weather advisories remain in effect for western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania through Tuesday, with a new advisory for Northern Erie, N.Y., into Wednesday morning.
- Forecasts call for 4 to 11 inches in parts of Chautauqua, Crawford, Southern Erie, and Warren counties, with visibility at times below a quarter-mile and hazardous travel on bridges and overpasses.
- Syracuse and nearby areas are projected to receive roughly 3 to 7 inches, with higher totals in classic lake-effect zones and the most significant impacts targeting the Tuesday morning commute.
- The outbreak delivered the coldest readings of the season across the East with wind chills in the teens, but guidance points to temperatures rebounding by midweek as lake-effect snow diminishes.
