Syracuse, NY – A Winter Weather Advisory remains active across central New York as lake effect snow continues overnight, with 1 to 3 inches expected by Thursday morning. Wind gusts up to 35 mph will add to hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, the advisory covers counties including Onondaga, Chenango, and Tompkins. The warning is effective until 1 p.m. Thursday. Snow bands will create variable conditions, with visibility quickly dropping in some areas while remaining clear in others.
Blowing snow and slippery roads are likely to affect the Thursday morning commute. Drivers should reduce speeds, allow extra travel time, and remain cautious. The combination of high winds and snowfall could lead to sudden whiteouts in some locations, the weather service noted.
Residents in cities like Syracuse, Ithaca, and Cortland are advised to monitor changing weather patterns. In lake effect snow zones, conditions often shift rapidly. The latest road updates can be accessed by dialing 511.
Forecasters stress the importance of preparedness when traveling during lake effect snow. Keeping emergency supplies in vehicles, including blankets and flashlights, is recommended. Gusty winds may also lead to power outages in isolated areas.
The advisory is part of a broader pattern of winter weather impacting the Northeast. Central New York residents should plan for snow-covered roads and low visibility through Thursday afternoon.
Be sure to stay updated on changing weather conditions and avoid unnecessary travel until roads improve.
