[anvplayer video=”5142177″ station=”998130″]
Today will be chilly, with afternoon highs only reaching the thirties. There is a chance of snow showers in the morning, followed by a few flurries in the early afternoon close to the international border.
The main focus for today will be on the South Shore as a gusty northwest wind will persist throughout the day, creating more lake-effect snow. The higher elevations along the Penokee range could get over half a foot of accumulation, from last night to Tuesday morning. Other areas along the South Shore will likely be in the 3-6” range.
Once the lake-effect snow stops midday Tuesday, dry weather will persist this week. Afternoon highs start in the thirties to low forties this week, but we will see a warming trend. By Wednesday, a few areas will reach 50 degrees. Temperatures in the fifties, with a few spots reaching the low sixties, are predicted for the end of the week.
Today
