Lake Effect Rain and Snow Showers

Looking Ahead

Cooler temperatures will move in early Thursday morning and generate lake effect showers. A mix of rain/snow showers will be seen Thursday, with little accumulations of either. Showers will be confined to the coasts as precipitation transitions to mostly snow late Thursday into Friday. Above freezing ground temperatures will limit snow accumulation. Snow showers continue into early Saturday morning before dissipating.

Times of light rain will continue tonight, transitioning to a rain/snow mix for Thursday. Showers will becoming mostly snow Thursday night and hug the coastal areas. Light snow showers will continue through Friday and into Friday night. Showers dissipate Saturday, with a warming trend returning early next week. Any snow that can stick will not last for long.
