203 AM EDT Tue Mar 19 2024 SYNOPSIS... Cold air will deepen across the region this week, with several passing surface troughs producing occasional rounds of snow showers, graupel, and lake effect snow through Thursday. The greatest snow accumulations will be found across the higher terrain east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The snow will most readily stick from around sunset through mid morning each day, with some melting during the daylight hours due to the high March sun angle. Temperatures will run below average through the end of the week. Area Forecast Discussion
