Chances of some snow around Thanksgiving are looking pretty good. SW to WNW wind. From Cle morning discussion
"By late Wednesday evening into the early overnight hours, the cold front will have departed to the east, leaving much of the region under the influence of a surface trough. With 850mb temperatures quickly dropping into the -8 to -10C range, this will mark the beginning of an increasing threat of lake effect snow. Initially Wednesday night, a sustained southwest flow across Lake Erie should isolate the heaviest band north over Lake Erie and have minimal impacts to the snowbelt minus possibly along the immediate lakeshore. By Thursday morning however, the upper level trough axis shifts east of the area and overall flow across the lake gains a more WNW wind component. This is expected to result in lake effect snow gradually shifting inland across the primary snowbelt. As this happens, ample moisture combined with deepening EQL and moderate lake induced instability should result in areas of heavy lake effect snow through Thursday night. Overall structure of the lake effect should be multi-bands with embedded heavier bands. Confidence continues to increase that there will be accumulating snow across portions of the snowbelt through Thanksgiving, but exact snowfall totals, locations, and timing remain uncertain. Given the increased travel surrounding the holiday, please keep up to date with the latest forecast and plan accordingly"
