Great Lakes Region Prepares for Heavy Snowfall as Lake-Effect Storms Intensify

More lake-effect snow is on the way. The National Weather Service (NWS) says it will snow in western Michigan on Tuesday night and Wednesday, with more snow and stronger snow on Wednesday. This will make trips take longer.

The NWS says that downwind of the Great Lakes, active lake-effect snow will start on Wednesday and last through Thursday.

The NWS said that rain will come in from the south on Tuesday before a cold front hits Cleveland. Wednesday, a stronger cold front is expected to move through the area. It will bring more rain, which will then turn into snow, they say.

“The cold front associated with this rapidly intensifying system will become rather potent as it sweeps across the East Coast during the day on Wednesday,” the NWS says. “There is potential for some very strong thunderstorms to form ahead of the front together with heavy downpours.”

On the other hand, much colder air behind the front is expected to bring snow to the western slopes of the Appalachians on Wednesday, along with strong northwesterly winds. The snow will then cover most of New England from Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

As Christmas gets closer and winter weather comes back, here is the most up-to-date list of places around the Great Lakes that are expected to get snow.
