First Alert Weather: Cool and mainly dry today, and tracking our first chance for snow next week

First Alert Weather: Cool and Mainly Dry Today

We’re back to Green on the Threat Tracker as winds have died down, leaving only some passing lake rain showers this morning. Rain chances should end by afternoon, with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s. Winds are calmer, with the strongest gusts around 20 MPH.

Wind and Rain Outlook

Winds will increase tomorrow ahead of another front, bringing gusts up to 30 MPH and rain in the afternoon and evening. Saturday will be cool and cloudy with calmer winds.

Approaching Low Pressure System and Snow Chances

Sunday, a low pressure system will pass by, causing rain here and snow for areas across the lake. By Sunday night, cold air will wrap around the system, giving us our first chance for snow. Higher elevations have the best chance to see flakes Sunday night.

Cold Air and Lake Effect Snow Early Next Week

On Monday, cold Canadian air will push deep into the US, possibly bringing light lake-effect snow with north winds. Tuesday offers a better chance for lake-effect snow from Lake Ontario with northwest winds. Significant accumulations are not expected, but timing and amounts will become clearer in the coming days.

“Make sure to tune back in for updates on that. Either way, it will be cold, with neither Monday nor Tuesday getting past the 30s.”

A clipper system will move through Wednesday, bringing some rain and breezy winds.

Summary: A cool, mainly dry day precedes increasing winds and rain, with the first chance of snow appearing Sunday night and continuing into early next week as cold air moves in.
