Lake effect has ended and now our focus turns to another storm system moving across the middle of the country that will try to re-develop along the East Coast tomorrow. This storm system will end up a bit farther north along the coast than the one that just buried the Mid Atlantic states with 1 to 2 feet of snow so we will be watching it very closely.
Exactly how the storm develops (strengthens, tracks, etc.) once it gets to the Atlantic Ocean will ultimately dictate how it affects CNY. New data coming in this morning seems to indicate more of a southern track of this low, with the heaviest snow setting its sights on Pennsylvania and the Metro NYC region. Obviously, there’s still a bit of time for us to hone in the forecast.
At the very least, it looks like central New York will have to deal with some widespread snow (not lake effect) on Wednesday. In the Syracuse area we are thinking 1-4” with less to the north and more to the south. Temperatures will also remain well below normal right into the weekend.
