Winter Storm Map Shows Four States Facing Heavy Lake Effect Snow

The NWS has issued lake effect snow warnings in New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, predicting significant snowfall through the weekend.

Four states are facing heavy lake effect snow this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.Lake effect snow is a weather phenomenon that occurs when cold, dry air moves over a large, warmer body of water, such as the Great Lakes. This temperature difference causes the air to pick up moisture from the lake's surface, and as the air moves over the land, it cools and the moisture condenses, forming snow.

In Central Chippewa and Western Chippewa Counties, snowfall is expected to be heaviest in Sault Ste. Marie. Meanwhile, eastern Antrim, southern Otsego, northeast Kalkaska, and northwest Crawford counties will also see 1 to 2 feet of snow.The NWS has warned that there will be 'rapid drops in visibility' over the weekend in these counties owing to heavy snowfall and gusty winds.
