Heavy lake effect snow and wind will cause dangerous driving on Friday and Friday night

NBC3, Thursday 6 p.m., Snowfall Update on the Lake

Our forecast for Thanksgiving Day worked out as we were looking for fine driving conditions for visiting family and having a good meal in and around CNY.

The weather will change dramatically overnight and especially Friday and Friday night.

We still have weather alerts in effect for severe hurricane winds:

Please check back with CNY Central later tonight, first thing Friday morning and again Friday evening for the latest updates on lake effect snow, road conditions and forecast.

Please be careful when out on the roads and give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.
