The National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties on Thursday at 10:12 a.m., which will remain in place until Saturday at 4 a.m.
“Heavy lake effect snow,” the weather service reports. The most persistent lake snows accumulate an additional 6 to 12 inches of snow. Significant blowing and drifting snow is caused by winds that can reach 45 mph.
“The journey will be quite challenging. Visibility will be greatly diminished in areas where snow is blowing. Both today’s evening commute and Friday morning travel will be impacted by the dangerous circumstances. According to the weather service, strong winds will bring down tree branches and result in isolated power outages. “Relatively narrow bands of heavy snow will fall. When traveling, be ready for quickly shifting visibility and road conditions. The weather during lake effect snow might range from dry conditions a few kilometers distant to bands of locally heavy snow with significantly impaired visibility. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather.
