Lake effect snow this weekend

System snow will change over to lake effect this morning and continue for most in NW Michiana for the entire weekend. Totals from today and tonight will approach 6-8” around Berrien Co. with isolated spots reporting higher amounts. Sunday and Sunday night could see an additional 3-6+” in the lake effect zone, meaning that 12+” is still possible in Berrien Co. by Monday morning, which is why they are under a Winter Storm Warning from 8 PM tonight to midnight Sunday night.

Along with the snow, bitter cold temps are in store for the new year. Many of us could easily dip below zero by the morning of New Year’s Day. Highs Monday and Tuesday stay in the single digits but a “warm-up” could move by this time next week, as highs climb into the low 20s by the end of next weekend!

Today: Mostly cloudy with lake effect snow, high of 14.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy with lake effect snow. Low of 3.

Sunday: Lake effect snow, high of 10.   

New Year’s Day: Mostly cloudy with a chance of L.E. snow, highs near 7.
