More lake effect snow, and a nasty windchill

There's a lull in the active winter pattern; the next round of lake effect snow is expected Wednesday evening. Temperatures rise above freezing Wednesday as the wind begins to gust out of the southwest. The wind will turn sharply Wednesday night and gust out of the northwest, dropping temperatures into the teens by Thursday morning. This will produce a typical lake effect response. Early estimates call for two to four inches of snow across extreme northern Indiana, and more than four inches in Southwest Michigan. Low visibility could be the greatest hazard, Thursday morning. Wind gusts will top 30 mph. Thursday is a cold and windy day snow or no snow, for everyone. Highs won't make it to 30 degrees and a wind chill in the teens. 

The weather quiets down and warms into the 40s this weekend. 

Tonight: Mostly cloudy. Low 24.

Wednesday: Mostly cloudy. Breezy. Wintry mix by late afternoon. High 38.

Thursday: AM snow. windy. High 28.

Friday: Mostly sunny. High 26
