Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:11 PM EST on December 08, 2009
... Significant lake effect snow possible Thursday into Friday...
Colder air will move into Northern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania in the wake of the strong storm system that will move across the region through Wednesday evening. This will set the stage for a band of lake effect snow to develop on Thursday and continue into Friday.
The initial lake effect snow bands will likely remain offshore of northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. This would place the heaviest snowfall into New York early on Thursday. However as winds gradually shift to the west on Thursday afternoon into the overnight the lake effect snow band will shift southward. Heavy snows will then be possible into at least Friday night for the snowbelt region. Significant accumulations will be possible with the potential of seeing a foot or more.
The winds will remain at breezy levels into Friday. This will cause blowing and drifting of any of the snow that accumulates. These winds will make it feel much colder with wind chills ranging from 5 degrees below zero into the single digits.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite weather source for additional updates on this first significant blast of winter.
