Lake Effect Snow Threat Sunday-Monday

Lake Effect Snow Possible

Four Day Outlook

Bands of lake effect snow are expected to develop Sunday through Monday in the vicinity of southern Lake Michigan. The main timeframe of concern for accumulating snow and winter driving conditions is Sunday night into Monday, but confidence in exactly where remains low. The mild waters of Lake Michigan may also reduce snow amounts and roadway impacts along and near the lakeshore, wherever the snow bands focus.

As of Friday afternoon, there are three general forecast scenarios for lake effect snow late Sunday evening through midday Monday. Note that scenarios #1 and #2 (mainly northwest Indiana) would be more typical for this time of year and overall more likely than scenario #3 (which includes parts of Illinois). It remains too early to rule out any particular outcome, however. Stay tuned!
