NY weather: Lake effect snow warning for Herkimer County until early Sunday evening

The National Weather Service issued a lake effect snow warning for Herkimer County on Saturday at 2:56 p.m., which will last until Sunday at 4 p.m.

“Snow with a strong lake effect is anticipated. The most persistent bands have locally higher levels of snow accumulation, ranging from 6 to 12 inches. The weather service warns that snow will blow and drift due to winds of up to 45 mph. “The lake effect band is expected to lift northwards this evening, with the heaviest snow overnight before the band drops back to the south tomorrow.”

“Roads will probably get slippery and dangerous. The weather service warns that falling and blowing snow can cause visibility to plummet below 1/4 mile. “The weather during lake effect snow might change from dry conditions a few kilometers distant to bands of heavy snow locally. Visibilities can differ significantly as well. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather.
