WINTER STORM TO CAUSE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
AccuWeather's expert meteorologists are keeping a close eye on a dangerous winter storm that is moving from the Plains to the east-northeast from the Great Lakes Thursday and to the Northeast by Friday. To be better prepared, we recommend businesses utilize AccuWeather's severe weather warnings - which have proven to protect life, safety, and property better than our competitors.
Heavy snow will continue to fall from the Upper Midwest to the Great Lakes Thursday, causing treacherous road conditions and travel disruptions. A mix of rain, ice, and snow will fall across the Northeast through Friday. Snow can accumulate in areas from Boston to the north. Snow will fall Thursday into Friday night across the Northeast with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 20 inches. Across the Northeast, snow may linger into the early morning hours Saturday before ending.
On Thursday, severe weather can break out from the shores of Lake Erie to the Ohio River Valley. These storms can produce the threat of isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, and torrential rainfall.
