Areas of moderate to heavy snow and strong winds will continue to
impact the Great Lakes region through tonight. The Arctic air
surging over the Great Lakes will result in extremely heavy
snowfall totals by the end of the weekend with as much as 2 to 4
feet snow expected over the favored snow belts downwind of the
lakes. Blizzard conditions are expected to persist around portions
of the Upper Midwest and the Great Lakes region, but conditions
should improve on Sunday as the winds begin to subside. Arctic air
will be in place across much of the central and eastern U.S. this
holiday weekend with temperatures as much as 20 to 30 degrees
below average, including overnight lows that will be below zero
for many areas of the Midwest, and in the single digits and teens
elsewhere across portions of the southern and eastern U.S. Please
consult WPC's latest winter weather Key Messages for updates on
the progression this blizzard and the Arctic blast impacting the
country.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
