A storm from western Canada moved into the Great Lakes Wednesday night and it will bring an swath of moderate to heavy snow into the end of the week.
The storm produced light to moderate snow over part of North Dakota, much of Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin during the day Wednesday. For this area, the storm was similar to other Alberta Clippers that affected the area over the past couple of weeks.
The forward speed of the clipper is forecast to slow down with time.
A wintry mix is projected to occur around Chicago to Fort Wayne, Ind., Thursday morning and in Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio, Thursday afternoon into Friday.
Farther north, extra energy in the upper atmosphere and colder air at the surface translated into a swath of enough snow to shovel in portions of Wisconsin and Michigan Wednesday night, with some more snow to follow Thursday. The storm looks to cross southern Ontario and into western and central New York late Thursday afternoon into Friday.
