Overview
- The National Weather Service keeps lake-effect and winter storm warnings in place through Saturday morning for parts of Onondaga, Oswego, Oneida and Madison counties.
- Narrow bands off Lake Ontario are delivering near-zero visibility with snowfall rates of 3 to 5 inches per hour and localized totals of 1 to 3 feet, especially across Oswego County and the Tug Hill.
- NWS updates note some tapering and a northward drift in bands at times, yet dangerous travel remains likely in the lake-snow corridor.
- Areas away from the lakes, including the Rochester region, are seeing only flurries or light accumulations generally under a couple of inches.
- A clipper is expected to bring around an inch of area-wide snow tonight, followed by a temperature moderation next week that could produce a brief thaw.
