Transit rd

Skyway

Delayed but not denied. Whiteout conditions Buffalo north. Band looks stationary. Heart of that band looks 2-3” per.

Yeah high winds and strong LES bands don't really work.

Looks like we have a band in development, some yellow returns already showing up

Tonights models

Just had a 55-60 mph gust or close to it. Unreal winds with no advisory. Not good for Lake effect band development.

Huron is firing, another few hours before we get a strong band. IMG_3156.mp4
