As winter approaches, several counties in New York are facing challenging weather conditions, prompting the issuance of Winter Weather Advisories and Wind Advisories by the National Weather Service (NWS). These advisories are crucial for residents and travelers to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
In Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 1 PM EST on Monday, with lake-effect snow expected to accumulate 4 to 7 inches in the higher terrain areas. Blowing and drifting snow, along with winds gusting up to 45 mph, will create hazardous travel conditions, especially impacting the Monday morning commute. Similar conditions are forecasted for Lewis County, where snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches are expected in higher terrain regions until 7 PM EST on Monday.
Additionally, a Winter Weather Advisory is in place for Cortland, Madison, Onondaga, Southern Cayuga, and Tompkins Counties until 7 PM EST on Monday. Total snow accumulations between 3 and 7 inches are anticipated, primarily in higher terrain areas, with gusty winds adding to the challenging conditions.
In central New York and northeast Pennsylvania, a Wind Advisory is in effect until 1 AM EST on Monday. West to northwest winds of 15 to 30 mph, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, are expected, posing risks of blowing around unsecured objects, downing tree limbs, and causing isolated power outages, particularly in exposed hilltop locations.
Furthermore, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for Long Beach, Cypress, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Artesia, Cerritos, Signal Hill, and Lakewood in California due to a strong thunderstorm with wind gusts up to 40 mph. Residents in these areas are advised to be cautious of potential hazards caused by the gusty winds.
As the weather conditions evolve, it is essential for individuals in the affected areas to stay updated on the latest forecasts and advisories from reliable sources like the NWS. Taking proactive measures, such as avoiding unnecessary travel, securing outdoor objects, and staying informed, can help mitigate risks associated with inclement weather.
