The WeatherRadar shows snow already underway across the Midwest and Great Lakes Monday afternoon, and it will spread into the Appalachians as far south as North Carolina and Tennessee by this evening.

As the low swirls in its counterclockwise direction, it is pulling cold Arctic air down from the north and northwest. Temperatures have dropped from the 40s and 50s across the Midwest and Ohio Valley into the low-to-mid-30. Brrr!!

Winter weather advisories blanket the Great Lakes map across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the coastal areas of the mainland, northern Indiana, Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland, the lower Ohio Valley including Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lexington, Kent., the Appalachians from Gatlinburg, Tenn., to the Maryland Panhandle and northward to Lake Erie’s and Lake Ontario’s coasts in Pennsylvania and western New York.

Between 6 and 14 inches of snow are possible in the winter storm warning areas including Benton Harbor, Mich., South Bend, Ind., Chardon, Ohio, Meadville, Penn., Jamestown, N.Y., Oakland, Md., and Elkins, W. Va.

Heavy snow bursts are otherwise expected for those under winter weather advisories. The gusty winds will also lower visibility for anyone receiving snow, so be sure to take it slow on the roads if you must venture out.
