Synopsis: Good Wednesday morning, hope you all are staying warm out there given these frigid temps…unfortunately the bitterly cold air will continue as we head into the New Year. We continue to target off and on lake effect snow showers today mainly confined to LaPorte, St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties. We target multiple waves Thursday and the big-hitter Friday night that will bring additional accumulating snowfall chances…you’ll want to keep very close eyes on the short-term forecasts as we take things one wave at a time. If you have any questions please let us know, have a blessed day! -Kirk
