317 AM EST Sat Dec 21 2024 SYNOPSIS... Expansive high pressure centered over the Upper Great Lakes will gradually drift southeast and cross our region by Sunday. This will result in day to day improvement in our overall weather...but it will definitely be cold with temperatures averaging WELL below normal. The mercury on Sunday will have trouble climbing out of the single digits east of Lake Ontario...while the remainder of western New York will not escape the teens. Looking further ahead...a weak storm system Monday night and Tuesday should be able to generate enough nuisance snow to support a white Christmas for most areas. Area Forecast Discussion
