Overview
- The National Weather Service issued an evening snow squall warning in New York for Seneca, Steuben, and Yates counties until 6:15 p.m., with a line from Verona Beach to near Erin moving east at 50 mph.
- Officials cautioned that wet roads could quickly freeze with visibility dropping to near zero, as gusts over 35 mph and intense bursts of snow create black ice on bridges and overpasses.
- Earlier Monday, an updated warning covered Genesee, Lapeer, Macomb, Oakland, and St. Clair counties in Michigan until 11:15 a.m. EST, with a squall moving southeast at roughly 35 mph.
- On Sunday, short-duration warnings targeted Iowa and Nebraska highways, including I-35 near Ames, I-80 and I-235 around Des Moines through noon, and US-75 near Blair until 11:15 a.m. CST.
- The weather service urges motorists to avoid or delay travel during squalls, slow down with headlights and hazards if already driving, maintain extra distance, and avoid abrupt braking to reduce pileup risk.
