Yet another winter storm will track from the Southern Plains into the Great Lakes Region through Saturday morning, with heavy snow falling across northern Oklahoma and much of Kansas today (Thursday) and tonight; northern Missouri/eastern Iowa tonight and early Friday, and northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin/Lower Michigan by late Friday into early Saturday. Winter storm watches, warnings, and advisories have been issued for these areas: The low pressure center responsible for this winter weather will not be particularly strong, so wind should not be a major problem with this storm as it was last week. Still though, heavy snow will fall due to warm advection ahead of the system, the deformation zone to the northwest of the surface low track, and vorticity advection as the upper-level wave progresses. 3-6 inches of snow will be common from the Southern Plains into Iowa, and 6-12 inches of snow could fall across the Great Lakes Region as the surface low slows down and strengthens slightly. Once again, I'll be based out of Grand Rapids, MI to document this storm, and will move if necessary to find the heaviest snow. Stay tuned for updates!
