Midwest Faces Gusty Lake-Effect Snow and Frigid Arctic Air
• The Midwest is preparing for gusty winds, lake-effect snow, and extremely cold temperatures due to clipper storms.
• Localized areas could see 6-12 inches of snow, with some bands potentially exceeding 3 feet by Thursday, leading to hazardous travel conditions.
• An intensifying Arctic air surge will bring even colder temperatures and more snow to the Great Lakes region, setting up a major winter storm for the southern and eastern U.S.

The Midwest is bracing for a bout of intense winter weather as a series of clipper storms sweeps through the region. Western Michigan is particularly vulnerable, facing gusty winds, significant lake-effect snow, and dangerously cold temperatures. These conditions are expected to create hazardous travel conditions and disrupt daily life.
