The central part of the area (generally between I-96 and I-69) will probably see 10-15 inches, and the northern part of the area probably 6-10 inches. Snow amounts across the area will be highest in the south, where 12-16 inches are possible.

There is still some uncertainty about the Thursday piece, but we’ll have better confidence about that Tuesday. The snow won’t end, but it could become lighter at some point overnight Wednesday night before picking up again Thursday as the potential second wave moves in. What’s important to remember is that there are two parts to this snow event: the Wednesday snow, and the Thursday snow. However, as a cold front crosses the area and drops our temperatures, that rain will change to snow overnight Tuesday, and the snow will become heavy Wednesday morning and continue into Wednesday evening. Rain will develop either late Tuesday afternoon or early Tuesday evening. Here’s what I’m expecting after review of Monday afternoon’s computer model data: This should be a long-duration snow event, with significant accumulation possible.
