12-8-17 La Porte District Forecast 

Synopsis: Good Friday morning! Winter storm warnings and advisories already issued today through midnight Saturday night. Watching for things to get going after midnight tonight through the first wave and then dealing with an impressive lake effect band as we go throughout the second half of the day on Saturday…details in the video on more exact timing and location of that heavy band of snow. Slight adjustments made to the official snowfall accumulation forecast, the heaviest snow likely setting up in the Plymouth and La Porte sub-districts into late Saturday night. We stay very active into next week with multiple shots for snowfall in the forecast. Let us know if you have any questions, have a blessed day! -Kirk
