LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

On Thursday, Snow showers will redevelop across the area as the band shifts South and weakens. Accumulations will generally be in the 1 to 3 inch range from the Thruway North, with up to an inch further south.

Thursday evening, a new band of lake effect snows will develop over the region that may persist into Thursday night and Friday.

While future forecasts will refine the expected location of the band, significant snowfall is possible across the area beginning Thursday night and tapering off during the early afternoon on Friday.

At this time, it appears that the best chances for significant snowfall will be along and north of the New York State Thruway, including locations such as Baldwinsville, Brewerton, Cicero, Rome, and Holland Patent. New snowfall may exceed 7 inches in these locations by the early afternoon on Friday.

A lake Effect Snow Watch means there is a potential for Lake Effect Snows to produce 7 inches or more of snow in 12 hours or less. Which could significantly impact travel. If you are planning to travel in the watch area, please stay tuned to your favorite local media outlets for further details or updates from the National Weather Service
