Snow Squalls May Impact New Year's Eve Travel from the Great Lakes to the Northeast; Heavy Rain Returns to California

An Alberta clipper will bring lake effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes, with the highest snow totals downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Snow squalls may impact New Year's Eve travel during the evening and overnight hours across parts of the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast. Heavy rain will bring a flash flooding threat for southern California on New Year's Eve into New Year's Day. Read More >

A surface trough passed through the area on Friday, bringing much of the region a dusting to up to an inch of snow in the morning. Behind the trough, northwest winds allowed lake effect snows to set up with an intense single band dropping from 3 to nearly 6 inches of snow over parts of Berrien and Cass Counties in Michigan in just over 8 hours. The map below shows snow totals from yesterday with a list of the snowfall reports attached.
