.DISCUSSION...
A mix of rain and wet snow will continue this afternoon, with snow
favored across higher terrain and rain for lower elevations. It will
be very windy, especially northeast of Lake Erie. Colder air will
move back into the region tonight, with a brief period of lake
effect snow and minor accumulations east and southeast of Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario. Lake effect snow will end by Monday morning as
high pressure builds into the eastern Great Lakes. Another low
pressure system will then pass south of the area later Monday night
and Tuesday, with widespread light snow and minor accumulations
expected across most of the region. Below average temperatures and
daily snow chances will continue through the end of the week.
