HOVLAND 8 W 29.0 SILVER BAY 4 NNW 24.0 FINLAND 3 E 21.0 GRAND MARAIS 9 NNW 10.0 DULUTH 2 NNE 3.0 Bands of intense, heavy lake effect snow are forecast to continue downwind of the Great Lakes through the weekend. This includes the Upper and Lower Peninsula of Michigan, northeastern Ohio, northwestern PA, and upstate New York. The highest, most significant additional snowfall totals are expected through tonight in relatively localized areas east of Lake Erie and northeast of Lake Ontario in New York. The extreme snow totals will be encouraged by embedded, more convective snowfall with the potential for lightning and snowfall rates over 3 inches per hour at times. While not expected to be quite as intense, another foot of snow is possible in favorable downwind lakeshore locations of the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. Snowfall rates here will be heavy as well with upwards of 1-2 inches per hour possible. The snowfall should begin to subside from west to east through the day and overnight Sunday as the favorable wind trajectories and cold air advection over the Lakes begins to end following the passage of a surface ridge and subsequent warmer air behind it. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event.
