Multiple inches of snowfall will be possible, which would lead to travel issues Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning.
Along with bursts of heavy snow, a strong northeast wind could allow for drifting and blowing snow on Saturday evening. We’ll have a better handle on how impactful this storm will be by early Thursday afternoon.
Snow chances shift east by Sunday midday, but lake effect snow is in the forecast for northwest Indiana through the afternoon hours. Highs on Sunday will be in the teens, falling to the single digits for Sunday night. Wind chills will be below zero for Sunday morning and Sunday night into Monday morning.
