<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Midwest Clipper Brings Light Snow, Gusty Winds

<p>Lake effect snow season has arrived, with heavy snow expected this weekend into early next week!<br><br>Watches and advisories have been issued on the southern sides of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, with alerts around Lakes Erie and Ontario likely to be issued soon as well. Snow in these areas could top 8-12" on some locations, with heavy snowfall rates likely reducing visibility at times, making travel very difficult.</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 055534-1762606642794.png">How Lake Effect Works</h1><p>Water has a much higher heat capacity than air, meaning it takes more time to warm up and cool down. This leads to "mild" water temperatures in the Great Lakes while the air overhead can be much cooler. As the cold, dry air moves over these areas, it's able to evaporate moisture from the lakes until it condenses into clouds and precipitation before falling out over land. Typically, we need at least a 13° F difference between the lake water and the air aloft (around 1500 m, or 4500-5000 ft) for lake effect snow to form. This weekend, the difference will be close to 35-45°! </p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 060323-1762608655882.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 060332-1762608670553.png">Forecast</h1><p>Lake effect snow begins to develop late Saturday as the cold air begins to filter farther south with stronger northerly flow. Sunday will see additional lake effect snow develop as the cold continues to spill in, eventually turning mixed rain and snow showers to all snow. As the winds shift slightly from the NNE late Sunday into Monday, Chicago could see some intense lake effect snow drift over downtown from the lakeshore. This is completely dependent on a shortwave around the upper-level low providing those NNE winds, so if that shifts a bit, Chicago may get missed. Other areas more certain to see some heavy accumulations include locations on the SSE sides of the lakes, and on the SE side of Lake Ontario. Winds shift back to the North and NW by Monday, bringing the heavier snow into Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/2025-11-08 06-03-56-1762608689758.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Impacts to travel can be expected, especially along the I-90 corridor where major impacts are possible in NW Indiana. Make sure your vehicle is ready for winter travel with some good tread on your tires and a winter driving kit.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 060346-1762608655878.png">You can catch the latest forecast for the Great Lakes anytime by using the WeatherNation app to view the Central Regional Forecast.

<p><span>Arctic air is set to take a deep dive into the Southern United states. Millions of Americans will be impacted by these cooler temperatures this weekend through next week. This cold outbreak is being driven by a strong upper-level low dipping southward from Canada, allowing frigid polar air to surge into the central and eastern portions of the country. This low will also help to drive multiple cold fronts across the country. There will be widespread subfreezing temperatures overnight, with many regions experiencing daytime highs that will struggle to climb above the freezing mark.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 072835-1762612121598.jpg"></p><p><span>In some areas, temperatures could run 20 to 30 degrees below average, especially across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes region.</span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 072933-1762612178062.jpg"></p><p>Monday and Tuesday's lows will plummet into the 20s, 30s, and 40s all the way to the Central Gulf Coast States and Florida.

The combination of Arctic high pressure and strong cold advection will make the air feel even colder, with wind chill values dipping into the single digits in northern states.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-08 073032-1762612306042.jpg"></p><p><span>This early blast of winter is a reminder that the transition from autumn to winter can happen abruptly when large-scale atmospheric patterns align.

Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

Winter is making an appearance for the High Plains this weekend with very cold temperatures and snow chances in the forecast.  Parts of the High Plains might only feel highs in the lower 40s this afternoon...again that is the high temperature forecast.  Here is the very latest.
<h1>Temperature Forecast</h1>
<h3>3AM  Temperatures</h3>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-97798 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/09/7day4-14.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<h3>Sunday High Temperature Forecast</h3>

Take a look at how cold the temperatures will be this afternoon. Parts of Montana, including Glasgow and Billings, might not even make it into the 40s for highs.  These temperatures are well below where we should be this time of the year.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-97801 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/09/7day4-15.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Parts of Montana and the Dakotas will be 15° to almost 30° below average this afternoon...that clearly shows that air this cold is way to early for the High Plains.

Also with temperatures this cold, the chance for snow will be in the forecast.
