Weather synopsis: December 4


THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS DISCONTINUED THE LAKE-EFFECT SNOW WARNING/ THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A LAKE-EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN ERIE COUNTY. Currently in Buffalo, NY the temperature is 30°F with mostly cloudy skies. Looking outside I can see the lake-effect snow band to the north of the Buffalo State College region. This band of snow will meander about throughout the day. It will move south again later this after noon over Buffalo. I still expect snow accumulations in the most persistent snow band to be around 8.0" to 12.0" by midnight tonight. Thus far, general accumulations have been reported between 2.0" and 4.0" with in the Greater Buffalo/Niagara metro area. The Snow band will remain over northern Erie and Niagara counties and should produce an additional 6.0" to 8.0" before dissipating later this evening and tonight around midnight. Other areas in western New York south and east of Buffalo will have total accumulations between 2.0" and 6.0" by midnight tonight. Looking ahead, the cold air will linger for the up coming week. This will set the stage for additional chances of Lake-Effect snows.
