Tricky Weather for Thanksgiving

A lake effect snow warning is in effect for Southern Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and McKean Counties until 6 a.m. Thursday. Lake effect snow bands are expected to form southeast of Lake Erie, bringing with it heavy snow to the Southern Tier. Six to eight inches of snow is possible today, with as much as ten inches possible at higher elevations through Thanksgiving Day. Expect slippery roads and white-out conditions with the lake effect bands. WeatherBug senior meteorologist Steve Princivalli says a powerful storm near the Great Lakes will hamper pre-Thanksgiving travel across the Northeast.
