Spring Snowstorm In Northern Tier Will Bring High Winds To Great Lakes, Northeast

An intensifying spring storm will spread snow across parts of the Northern Plains and upper Midwest while also producing high winds in the Great Lakes and Northeast late this week.

This storm will be a continuation of the same one that entered California on Tuesday. It may also trigger a potential severe weather outbreak in the Plains, South and Midwest.

Thursday-Thursday night: Snow could stretch from the northern and central Rockies into the Dakotas, northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Friday -Friday night: Snow, or a mix of rain and snow, and increasing winds from this storm should be widespread and impact areas from South Dakota and northern Nebraska into central Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Rain could change to snow as far south as northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois by later Friday or Friday night.

Saturday: Lingering snow and wind are possible in the western and northern Great Lakes, especially early. A mix of rain and snow may also linger in portions of northern New England.

Snow totals could range anywhere from an inch or two to as much as 8 inches from the Northern Plains into Minnesota and the northern Great Lakes. Heavier totals are possible in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan because of lake-enhanced moisture.

Strong winds are expected for a broader area of the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast, even in areas that will see rain or thunderstorms instead of snow. Tree damage and power outages are concerns in some of these areas.
