The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Jefferson & Lewis counties. Lake effect snow is expected from 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 to Sunday at 1 p.m. NWS says accumulations of 4 to 7 inches of snow are possible.

Today, though, much of Michigan will still see some lake-effect snow. It’s forecast to be heavy in a few spots across the state, with the very southwest corner of Michigan under a Winter Weather Advisory that could bring up to 5 inches of snow. A couple areas of the Upper Peninsula are also in the 3 to 6-inch snow forecast zone.

Lake-effect snow is most common near the Great Lakes, but while rare in North Texas, it can happen here too. Lake-effect snow was expected to be possible in areas south and southeast of the larger North Texas lakes, such as Lake Lewisville or Lake Ray Hubbard.

The National Weather Service issued a report at 12:37 p.m. EST on Wednesday for lake effect snow until 2:45 p.m. EST for Ottawa, Allegan and Van Buren counties.

High temps gradually on the rise

The pounding of lake effect snow that Central New York has endured over the past week is finally winding down. A few more inches of snow could fall today, especially on Tug Hill, but the storm system that dragged cold air across the Great Lakes is dissipating.
