More Lake Effect Snow
 HAMweather Advisory Center |
Heavy lake effect snow will occur again over the Great Lakes today and tomorrow as the strongly amplified trof holds position allowing shortwave energy to eject over the region. Forecast strong north to northwesterly low level wind flow with the accompanying cold air advection suggests that the areas of highest accumulations will be south to southeast of Lakes Michigan, Erie, and Superior. Accumulations above 12″ in some locations are possible.
Additional upslope snow is in store for Appalachia today where areas in West Virginia will receive another 3-4″ of snow above existing accumulations. Further north in western Maryland, and Pennsylvania such as the Laurel Highlands will receive higher accumulations on the order of 8-10″ with emphasis on western slopes and hilltops. A weak Pacific system will bring a dusting of snow to Montana today, on the order of 2-4″. Temperature profiles exhibit a possibility of warming during the afternoon hours that will cause melting of snow on the roadways and hillsides, that will then refreeze in the evening hours, causing the potential for dangerous driving conditions. |
