front extending east through Lake Huron. A complicated frontal
structure, aided by complex terrain over the Appalachians, extends
to the south and east of the triple point located near Lake Erie.
Regional RADAR mosaic imagery and surface observations detected a
band of moderate to heavy snowfall over Michigan's Upper
Peninsula. Wintry precipitation is continuing to push toward the
northeast, making its way into regions of New Hampshire and
southern Maine. Meanwhile, in the warm sector of the storm, a
region of heavy precipitation extends from the western end of Lake

Low pressure over the Midwest, which is now vertically stacked,
will continue to gradually weaken through tonight. Despite a lack
of moisture and forcing, northeasterly winds crossing Lake
Superior will create favorable conditions for lake-effect snow,
primarily south of Lake Superior. Intense snowfall rates are
possible, with up to 8" of additional snowfall expected for
Michigan's Upper Peninsula through Friday afternoon. Heavy snow
rates combined with winds gusting to 35 mph will result in blowing
snow, leading to dangerous travel conditions with near zero
visibility at times. As the system spreads across the Northeast
tonight, a coastal low will form off the coast of southern New
England along a warm front, which will present a renewed risk of
heavy snow. Heavy snow rates across the Northeast may exceed
1-2"/hr at times. This will create dangerous travel conditions
across New England tonight into Friday morning, with lighter snows
continuing through much of Friday. Snowfall totals of 4-8" will be
possible from Vermont through southern Maine, with locally higher
amounts possible (especially at higher elevations). Freezing rain
may also lead to ice accumulations of more than 0.1", especially
in the Catskills, Berkshires, and southern Green Mountains
creating slippery travel and hazardous travel. By Friday night,
this system will move offshore, with lingering lake-effect snow
possible across the Great Lakes and Northeast into the weekend.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 AM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
