Late-week winter storm may significantly disrupt holiday travel

The area could see a quick burst of an inch or two of snow tonight. Lake-effect snow will follow into Tuesday, which could produce a couple more inches of accumulation, especially toward the Keweenaw Peninsula. Behind a cold front, Wednesday morning low temperatures should fall below zero for interior locations--potentially even to -10. Our attention then turns to a system that will start to impact the area Wednesday night, lasting into Saturday. Significant snow is possible, particularly in the Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon time frame. Very strong winds will also be possible, resulting in the potential for blizzard conditions. If you need to travel for the holiday weekend, it is recommended you do so before Thursday or travel may become impossible.
