When

From 7 in the evening this evening through Tuesday morning.

Impacts

Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Snowfall rates may exceed 1 to 2 inches per hour within well organized lake effect snow bands. The gusty winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Travel could be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact both the Monday morning and evening commutes as well as the Tuesday morning commute.

Additional details

There may be an elevated risk for scattered power outages due to trees in the local area still having most of their leaves. The combination of leaves on trees and heavy wet snow may bring down large branches on to power lines during this early lake effect snow event.
