Lake-effect Snow and Whiteout Conditions in the Great Lakes Region; Below-average Temperatures in the East

Heavy lake-effect and lake-enhanced snow will persist downwind of the Great Lakes and produce some whiteout conditions that could cause difficult travel conditions. A coastal low will produce moderate to heavy snow over parts of southern and eastern New England into the afternoon. Below average temperatures are expected across the eastern U.S., particularly with chilly morning temperatures. Read More >

A slow moving winter storm system spread light to moderate snow across the region from late Saturday evening (2/16) into the evening hours of Sunday (2/17). Snowfall totals of 2 to 6 inches fell across much of the forecast area, with the higher amounts occurring further west in west central and central Iowa where 6-9 inches of snow fell.  Snowfall totals between a half inch and 2 inches were reported over portions of northeast Missouri, southeast Iowa, and west central Illinois. Snow-covered and slick roads were common, with minor blowing and drifting snow is some open or rural areas.
