Michael Fish's NBC26 weather forecast

A **WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY** has been issued for the NBC26 viewing area through this evening. Areas of snow, some heavy at times, will fall throughout the day.  Winds will be picking up as the day wears on shifting to the NE, producing some blowing & drifting snow in spots. Traveling will be hazardous.  4-7" is likely across most of the area with possibly some Lake Michigan enhancement, bumping up our totals to the higher side of that range. The farther you live to the SW, the less snow you will see as there will be a very sharp cutoff where only a little snow will fall.  Highs in the mid/upper-20s. Any snow shower would taper off as we head through this with minimal, additional accumulation. It'll be breezy in the evening with lows only around 10. Thursday should be relatively quiet, though we could see a couple of flurries with highs in the low-20s. Friday or Saturday, we could have another clipper system on the way, but it's too early to tell what's going to happen with that one. Temperatures warm up just a little into the weekend.
