Light snow today (1-3”) will transition to lake effect snow this afternoon/evening. The steadiest and heaviest lake effect snow will develop tonight and continue into Wednesday. Typical northwest snow belts will see the best chance for accumulating snow, especially portions of Chippewa county. Gusty winds will result in blowing snow at times, which will significantly reduce visibility as well.
Much of this upcoming week will feature below average temperatures and the chance for snow showers. The coldest period will be Wednesday/ Wednesday night with breezy conditions, making temperatures feel even cooler than they are.
Looking ahead, long range models are pointing towards cooler temperatures sticking around into the end of March with above average precipitation. “Normal” daytime high temperatures for this time of year are in high 30s to low 40s for most areas.
