Morning showers set up a turbulent week in Michiana, with lake effect snow chances increasing into Thanksgiving. Just showers Tuesday, with the wave of rain clearing through the early afternoon. More showers are expected overnight into Wednesday morning, associated with a cold front and a wind change. Very windy Wednesday, gusts into the evening exceeding 40 mph likely. System snow likely Wednesday morning, becoming Lake Effect Snow in the afternoon hours, a chance that continues into Thanksgiving itself. Main area of concern at this time is western Michigan snow totals that could get above 3 inches in some areas, though areas in northern Indiana can see over an inch of accumulation. With widespread travel these days, impacts especially on the roads are going to be high. Lake Effect likely wraps up early Friday morning, leaving us with some mostly cloudy skies and cold conditions, highs in the low 30s. Slightly warming into the weekend, high thirties, with another chance for widespread precipitation Saturday into Monday. Next week looks calmer.
