A major winter storm is expected to develop in the Texas Panhandle tonight then move NE towards the Great Lakes late Thursday through Friday. It is expected to exit the region Saturday afternoon.
Snow should be falling Thursday well ahead of the storm. The snow is expected to increase Thursday night through all of Friday. The snow associated with the storm system itself is expected to continue Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
The winds will be very strong with this storm. The winds will really pick up Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. The winds will be from the NW on Friday 20-25mph with gusts to 50mph by evening. The winds will only increase Friday night. The winds should remain this way for Saturday as well as the storm pulls away from the region.
Snow will be hard to measure but from Thursday through Saturday, the area could see over a foot and a half of snow in some areas.
Whether we see the lower end of snow totals or the higher end, the winds will be whipping that snow around making travel nearly impossible at times with white outs.
