Travel on New Year's Eve could be delayed in parts of the country expecting snow and slick conditions. See the forecast.

A more intense round of snow arrives Wednesday afternoon as an Arctic front moves through the region. Conditions could produce snow squalls with localized heavier snow showers. Accumulations will vary due to the scattered nature of the snow, but most areas should see another half inch to 2 inches by early evening.

Both a Lake Effect Snow Warning and a Winter Weather Advisory are in place until 7 a.m. Thursday. Pink highlighted counties will receive higher snow as those counties are in the primary snow belt.

Pockets of light snow continue this morning. Watch for additional coatings as temperatures are only in the teens.

“Heaviest snowfall will be along the Lakeshore with 3 to 6 inches expected and locally higher amounts possible. U.S. 131 corridor should see 2 to 4 inches. Inland has 1 to 3 inches of snowfall possible, mainly south of the I-96 corridor. Slick roads, reduced visibilities and travel disruptions to the evening commutes possible.”

It wasn’t a white Christmas. But it will surely be a white weekend. An area of low pressure approaching the tri-state Friday is expected to bring accumulating snow by late afternoon into Saturday morning.

Though it wasn’t a white Christmas, a strong storm is expected to deliver impactful snow and ice that could snarl travel.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for large parts of Scotland, but temperatures are expected to fall elsewhere too.
