Winds out of the north-northwest will bring persistent snow bands to the immediate lakeshore this evening with a widespread 1-3" of snow expected along US-31 by tomorrow morning.

Portions of Pennsylvania and New York are under a lake-effect snow warning on Tuesday as heavy accumulations are possible.
