Sunday Night: Lake effect will wrap up and winds are going to die down. Be prepared to bundle up as you head off to bed with lows ranging from 5 to 14 degrees, under partly cloudy skies. Winds are out of the North at 5-15 mph.
Monday-Wednesday: Some light lake effect snow continues on Monday, with flurries lingering into Tuesday. Highs will be in the 20s! Wednesday remains mostly cloudy, with highs in the 30s.
Thursday-Saturday: Another round of snow and wintry mix is expected on Thursday! Friday we are watching the set up for another storm system that would last into your Saturday. Highs are not the best for solid snow in the mid to upper 30s! Stay tuned as we continue to track this storm.
