ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The First Alert Weather team has issued a Yellow Alert for Sunday and Monday. For today it is due to strong winds, and for tomorrow it is for lake effect snow that could have an impact on commutes.
Winds today will pick up to 25-35 MPH with gusts up to 40-50 MPH, with the strongest being along the Lake Ontario shoreline and over the hills near the Finger Lakes. This could cause isolated tree damage and isolated power outages, and blow around any unsecured outdoor items. Gusts will decrease tonight but still be noticeable through Monday.
Lake effect rain will change over to lake effect snow as the day goes on, with the Finger Lakes seeing the change first. By this afternoon Rochester should be seeing that change. This will be that classic snowband extending from the Georgian Bay over Lake Ontario and impacting Rochester and areas southeast of Rochester. Not looking at much accumulation in the city due to warmer grounds, but we could still see up to an inch by Monday morning. Locally heavier amounts of 2-4″ or 3-5″ will fall as you go southeast towards the Finger Lakes.
The snow will have an impact on the Monday morning commute as roads will be wet and breezy winds could cause blowing snow which could hinder visibility, with impacts being greater as you head towards southeast Monroe, Livingston, and Ontario County. By Monday evening, the snowband is likely to shift east, which could have an impact on the evening commute in parts of Wayne County.
We’ll be back to Green on the Threat Tracker Tuesday as lake flakes taper off early in the morning, with the rest of the day being cold and mostly cloudy. Temperatures finally reach above normal by Friday, at which point we’ll be tracking our next chance of rain.
