Snow Machine Firing Back Up in Time for the Weekend Across Central U.S.

The winter storm train is showing no signs of letting up for the Great Lakes and beyond heading into the weekend. A fresh wave of snow will create travel issues for a large part of the Midwest, the Great Lakes, and into the interior Northeast. Read on for what parts of the country should prepare for the disruptive winter weather as they head out for shopping and other seasonal activities.

More Snow Headed to the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Beyond This Weekend

Over 60 million people across the central U.S. will be caught in the crosshairs of more accumulating snow in the days ahead. The forecast is calling for a wide zone of 1 to 3 inches of new snow from Montana and into Iowa on Saturday. By Sunday, the snow line will spread farther east, reaching the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley by the end of the weekend.

The greatest concentration of snow is expected in the area from eastern South Dakota and into the central portions of Iowa. Communities in this region should be prepared for an accumulation of 3 to 6 inches.
