158 AM EST Sun Jan 18 2026 .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Light lake effect snow develops northeast of the lakes today and temperatures turn colder behind passing cold front. CAA will bring temperatures aloft to -15C this morning. Combined with the continued troughing over the region, a weak lake effect response will continue northeast of Lake Erie and east-northeast of Lake Ontario through the day today. Snow is expected to be mostly light through this period as synoptic moisture is lacking behind the earlier passing cold front. However, with a favorable fetch over both lakes there will be some accumulation`s. Northeast of Lake Erie, an inch or two is possible for the day today, with an additional 1 to 3 inches through around daybreak on Monday morning. East of Lake Ontario 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected today and an additional 1 to 3 inches is expected tonight, with the lake effect remaining mostly stationary over the southern half of Jefferson County.
