ROCHESTER, N.Y. – We’re getting into some harsh winter weather this week and next week, with several rounds of Arctic air, along with some lake effect snow and bitter cold air. Starting with lake effect snow: Lake Erie will be delivering some periods of moderate to heavy snow, with most of this focusing on areas west of Rochester, especially Genesee and Wyoming Counties, where Winter Storm Warnings are up through Wednesday afternoon. The lake band will be dropping south of the Thruway Monday night into much of the day Tuesday. This is where the most snow will accumulate, with 6-10″ total for western parts of Wyoming County, 3-6″ in Genesee and possibly even extreme western Livingston Counties. The lake snow band will lift back north late in the day on Tuesday, spraying Monroe County with an inch or two during the evening and into the first part of tonight. Areas east of the Genesee Valley will likely see little more than an inch or so. The exception may be the higher terrain of Ontario County, where a couple inches are possible there.
The cold is the next story. Temperatures dropping into the single digits Monday night into early Tuesday morning will combine with a gusty wind, making it feel more like -5 to -15 degrees below zero. In fact, it’ll feel below zero for much of the day on Tuesday, with actual air temperatures in the lower teens most of the day. Outside of those lake bands, we’ll likely see some sunny breaks.
A weak clipper Wednesday will bring more widespread snow showers on Wednesday, followed by a reinforcing shot of bitter air and some more lake snow for the end of the work week.
Something else to keep an eye on Monday night is the potential for an impressive northern lights display. That is of course, if the clouds clear enough. Clouds will most certainly win out Monday night into Tuesday morning, but we will likely be seeing some breaks in the cloud cover. Depending on how strong the display is, there’s a decent chance we could see some colors in the sky, despite the lake clouds nearby. Something to monitor…
