126 AM EST Tue Jan 27 2026 .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Lake effect snow will continue east of Lake Ontario through the end of the week, with bands varying in location and intensity. Limited lake effect snow will continue east of Lake Erie. Lake effect snow will continue in some form most of the time through the rest of the week. A series of clipper shortwaves will bring numerous wind direction changes and modulate the environment over the lakes, forcing numerous band oscillations and changes in intensity. Extensive ice cover on Lake Erie will limit, but not end the lake effect snow potential. Southwest winds will gust in the 30-40+ mph range today across the Niagara Frontier northeast of Lake Erie, producing blowing and drifting snow in open areas.. Area Forecast Discussion
