Lake effect snow showers will continue overnight as low pressure moves east of the state. Some of the snow could be heavy at times, leading to snow-covered roads and reduced visibility. Temperatures will hold in the low 30s throughout the night, but winds will make it feel more like the upper teens to low 20s.

Futurecast Wind Chill
Futurecast Wind Chill, 3:00 PM Thursday

Conditions won't change much for Thanksgiving. Scattered lake effect snow showers will persist throughout the day as cold winds off of Lake Michigan remain in place. Expect westerly winds at 15-20 mph, with gusts still topping 35 mph at times. This will keep wind chills stuck in the same upper teens to low 20s, so make sure to layer up and use caution as you make your way to your Thanksgiving destination!
