Look for winds to subside and lake snow east of Lake Ontario to gradually end after midnight with as much as 3-6 inches of snow for areas on the Tug Hill.

Saturday morning sun will give way to afternoon clouds with highs mostly in the mid to upper 30s.

A clipper system will move in Saturday night, which will bring scattered snow showers. Behind it gusty west winds will get lake snow going again east of the lake. Lake snow looks to dip southeast of Lake Ontario Sunday night into Monday morning.
