The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Another frontal system moving through the Great lakes today will generate about 1" to 2" of snow inland and 2" to 4" closer to the lakeshore. A small warming trend starts today with highs back into the lower 30s, and mid 30s by Friday with partial sunshine. Enjoy it while it lasts, because another true Arctic blast is on the way starting Saturday. A cold front will move through in the morning, bringing the chance of rain/snow showers, then rapidly falling temperatures and breezy northwest winds. Additional lake effect snow is likely next week with highs only in the single digits and wind chills in the double digits below zero. Stay with FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates!
