Rochester, N.Y. — Some extremely cold air will remain in place this weekend. And expect some lake effect snow at times as well. As usual, the lake effect snow will impact a few areas, but not all. But by Sunday and Sunday night, a significant snow is likely for much of the area.
For the short term, the cold temperatures and very low wind chill values will be the biggest challenge. Through Friday, the air temperature will drop down through the teens, even despite some sunshine. The wind chill will do the same as well. Expect the wind chill to drop below zero during the morning. And it will continue to fall to closer to -10 by late in the day.Any persistent bands of lake effect snow during the day on Friday could drop between a trace to 2 inches of snow. Friday night, there will be the potential of another 1-3 inches of snow where the band lines up a little longer, especially for parts of northeastern Monroe County and Wayne County. Through the day on Sunday, snow will gradually build in during the morning. The snow will pick up in intensity and will become moderate to heavy through the afternoon and into the evening. It's during this timeframe that the bulk of the accumulation will occur. The early estimate is that many areas will have the potential of seeing close to a foot of snow out of this storm. Keep in mind that this is a preliminary estimate. Lake enhancement, which could increase the intensity of the snow, and also lengthen the duration of snow, will be a factor that we'll continue to evaluate. This could help to increase some of the snow totals for certain areas. Also, the cold temperatures will be a big factor in the snow accumulation forecast. Since temperatures will likely only be in the teens during much of Sunday, that very cold air will help to increase the 'fluff factor' of the snow. And that, in turn, could help to increase the total accumulation on the ground. Even after the snow ends from this storm, the cold air is going to linger for quite some time. Many of the high temperatures next week will likely only reach into the teens, and not much higher.Be sure to join us on 13WHAM, and also at 13wham.com for the latest weather updates.
