217 AM EST Sun Jan 25 2026 .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Widespread heavy snow expected today through tonight, with wrap around lake enhanced snow through Monday night. An expansive area of elongated surface low pressure currently draped across the lower Mississippi and Tennessee valleys will continue tracking to the northeast while slowly strengthening today. Radar imagery reveals a very impressive precipitation shield currently stretching from eastern New Mexico/western Texas all the way northeast to Pennsylvania, encompassing the southern Plains, entire Southeast (except Florida), Mid Atlantic and Ohio valley regions. As deep moisture and strong ascent continue pushing northeast through the early morning hours and the lower levels saturate, expect a steady light snow to move north into the Southern Tier before daybreak, then spread north across areas south of Lake Ontario through mid/late morning...then lastly into the eastern Lake Ontario region midday/early afternoon. Expect the heavier snow to begin a few hours after onset. The bulk of the heaviest snow will fall from late this morning through tonight across the area, with moderate lake enhanced snow continuing across the higher terrain east of Lake Erie through the day Monday, and along the southern Lake Ontario shore and southeast of Lake Ontario through Monday night...especially from Monroe County east to Oswego County. When all is said and done, expect total snowfall amounts ranging from 9 to 18 inches. The highest amounts will be across the higher terrain of the interior Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region...as well as the southern Lake Ontario shoreline and southeast of Lake Ontario owed to lake enhancement. KEY MESSAGE 2...Lake enhancement will continue to support some additional light accumulations Monday behind the departing snowstorm. The bulk of the significant snowstorm will already be over before daybreak Monday, with lesser intensity wrap around snow and lake enhancement lingering through the day. Area Forecast Discussion
