At 800 PM CST...Surface low pressure continues to weaken over the
Upper Midwest this evening, vertically stacked beneath a cold
upper-low overhead. To the east, satellite and surface
observations indicate a strengthening 995 mb low pressure system
close to Cape Cod associated with a strong Polar jet-stream nosing
into New England. The strong jet and developing low pressure are
focusing moderate to heavy snowfall and mixed precipitation over
the Interior Northeast and New England, although scattered light
to moderate snowfall (and gusty winds) persists over the Upper
Midwest per Doppler radar.

Winter weather hazards over the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest
are generally winding down as the respective Blizzard Warnings and
Winter Weather Advisories will expire by tomorrow morning.
However, downwind areas of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie will see
heavy lake effect snows through this weekend as cold
west-northwesterly flow continues on the back side of the coastal
low. In fact, current forecasts call for upwards of two feet of
snowfall downwind of Lake Erie within the Lake Effect Snow Warning
areas. As the low pulls away toward the Canadian Maritimes
tomorrow, heavy snowfall will generally subside from west to east
from the Interior Northeast through New England. Accordingly,
Winter Storm Warnings west of New Hampshire will expire tomorrow
morning/afternoon, while Warning level winter impacts will remain
over New Hampshire and Maine through tomorrow night/Sunday
morning. Owing to multiple days of snow, blowing snow, and
freezing rain across a broad swath of the country, travel may
become dangerous or impossible at times, so be sure to refer to
WPC or your local NWS office to access the latest forecasts and
learn about potential impacts to your area.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 AM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
