The low center over Lake Superior will weaken and meander near the
U.P. of Michigan today before dissipating tonight. Although the
snowfall has ended for the northern Plains and Upper Midwest, some
additional accumulating snow is expected across portions of
Michigan this morning. Storm total snow accumulations on the order
of 6 to 12 inches, with locally higher amounts, are expected
across the U.P. of Michigan. Gusty winds across the Upper Midwest
and Great Lakes region will continue to result in areas of blowing
and drifting snow, poor visibility, and hazardous travel
conditions this morning. Meanwhile, the separate low pressure
system southeast of Long Island will intensify further and
gradually lift north-northeast near Cape Cod later this morning
before then reaching the Gulf of Maine later this afternoon. This
will bring additional snow and ice across interior portions of the
Northeast. Snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are expected, with
ice accumulations of locally over a half an inch, especially for
the Adirondacks and Catskills of New York, and the Berkshires of
western Massachusetts.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
