116 AM EST Wed Jan 28 2026 .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Heavy lake effect snow persist east and southeast of Lake Ontario through much of the week, with bands varying in location and intensity. Limited lake effect snow will continue east of Lake Erie at times. Heavy lake effect snow will continue through at least Thursday off Lake Ontario, with somewhat more limited lake effect snow then persisting Friday through Saturday. Lake induced equilibrium levels will continue to run around 10K feet through Thursday with an arctic airmass in place. The dendritic growth zone is found low in the boundary layer in such a cold airmass, but is still sufficiently deep to support fluffy snow and high snow:water ratios. A strong connection to Georgian Bay has developed early this morning, which produced a brief period of heavy snow in Rochester. This Georgian Bay band is now drifting east and linking up with the main Lake Ontario band found in Wayne and northern Cayuga counties. The band will undergo a very similar evolution over the next 24 hours as the past 24 hours, with a notable northward shift today and then back south tonight. Area Forecast Discussion
