NWS: Winter Weather Advisory
The National Weather Service says snow will stay in the forecast for the next 36 hours, but extremely cold temperatures will also make a return.
Here’s the latest, quick hitting forecast information for your Tuesday and Wednesday in the Finger Lakes:
– Snowfall will continue through the day. Expect 3-5 inches for a large part of the region by the time the system moves away this evening.
– Road conditions will vary throughout this event. However, crews should be able to stay ahead of the snow, as it will fall slowly, but steadily all day.
– Locations in the Southern Tier, like Bath, and Elmira could see 5-7 inches of total snow accumulation.
– As the snow tapers by evening, temperatures will stay flat in the upper-20s to around 30 degrees.
– Bursts of snow, heavy at times, will be likely on Wednesday, after a cold front passes through the region, according to FLX Weather Meteorologist Drew Montreuil. He said in a morning update that winds will shift to the northwest, and those bursts of snow will significantly reduce visibility during the day.
– Blowing snow will be a concern after the snow tapers on Wednesday.

Steady snow will continue through the day today. The heaviest amounts are still expected to be south of the NYS Thruway. Expect untreated roads to be snow covered and slippery for this morning's commute. The snow will taper off from west to east starting late this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/IwdxkGrU8N

The snow will last all day but will be very manageable if you stay ahead of it. 1-3" likely from #ROC up to the lakeshore. 3-5" for areas south of the Thruway. #WNY #FLX #WX pic.twitter.com/ku6iakiOct
