Snows will fall across much of the region today, tonight and tomorrow. The heaviest totals look to occur in MN, IA, northern IL, southern WI, southern lower MI and northern IN and OH, where a general 4-8" will occur. A couple of inches are possible in northern WI, the UP and northern lower MI in the next 24-36 hours.

Things will then be quieting down in most of the region as we go through the day tomorrow. Lake effect snows will occur across the UP and sections of western lower MI for tomorrow into Wednesday before tapering off on Thursday. Most totals tomorrow and Wednesday will be in the 2-5" range, with some heavier totals possible in the higher terrain west of Marquette.

Temps for the week will run average to a bit above in the Northwoods, with highs in the 20’s. Temps in the rest of the Midwest will run a bit below average, with highs also in the 20’s in most cases.

Things look to be fairly quiet in all of the region for Friday, the weekend and even into early next week. A few scattered lake snows could occur, but it does not look like conditions will be favorable for much in the way of meaningful accumulations.

Temps for the weekend and first half of next week look to run in the 20’s in much of the region as well.
