Heavy snow predicted for Northeast as Midwest still struggles with Thanksgiving weather snarls
Black ice, snow showers and fog are pestering post-holiday travelers in the Midwest, while the Northeast is gearing up for its first major snowstorm of the season.
As of publication, the expected amount is roughly 3 inches, according to the National Weather Service’s expected snowfall forecast found on their website here. That amount is comparable to much of the state, though central and north-central Pennsylvania may expect closer to 4 or 5 inches.
The National Weather Service issued a report at 9:35 p.m. EST on Monday for snow until Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. EST for Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee and Monroe counties.
More snow is possible in Allegany County, which is under a winter weather advisory from 1 a.m. Tuesday to 7 p.m. Tuesday night. In Wellsville, the NWS forecast calls for 1-2 inches of snow accumulation overnight, followed by an additional 2-4 inches during the day Tuesday. Chance of precipitation is 100%.
Snow is expected to start early in the morning and continue through Tuesday morning. The Weather Service said snow will arrive as early as 3 a.m. in Warren County and between 5-6 a.m. in central Pa. "Hazardous travel is expected during the Tuesday morning commute with a plowable snowfall expected," the alerts warn.
The metro Detroit will continue to be under a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Sunday, with snow flurries, possibly 2 inches of additional accumulation.
