Heavy snowfall during the middle of the week affected parts of the other planes and the western Great Lakes. The snow obstructed visibility across eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota, and many accidents were reported along 94.

On Friday, another low-pressure system will move over the area. This will be the same low-pressure system that will finally push the severe weather that has been affecting parts of the Tennessee and Ohio valleys during the last few days to Eastwood. 

A low-pressure system will bring snow on Friday afternoon and evening across portions of the northern Plains. A high-pressure system will build right behind it, and the weather will improve just in time for the weekend. Temperatures will remain below normal throughout the weekend for this time of year before another high-pressure system builds in for the beginning of the week.

Temperatures will increase from the low to mid-40s across another Plains over the weekend to highs around the mid-upper 60s during the middle of next week.
