...LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST
INDIANA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY...

.LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL DRIFT INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA AS THE
NIGHT CONTINUES. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD BE A FOCUS BAND OF SNOW
SHOWERS...WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER RATES. CONFIDENCE IN HOW THE BAND
EVOLVES IN TERMS OF ITS POSITIONING REMAINS LOW BUT IT WILL
LIKELY SHIFT OFF TO THE EAST BY LATER TUESDAY MORNING. GIVEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR SNOW TO FALL HEAVILY AT TIMES...WITH SEVERAL INCHES
POSSIBLE IN THE COURSE OF AN HOUR...AND COMBINED WITH 15 TO 25 MPH
WIND...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT. SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED...PRIMARILY ACROSS
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTIES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 6 OR
MORE INCHES STILL A POSSIBILITY. AS WITH MANY LAKE EFFECT
SITUATIONS...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A QUICK DROP OFF IN SNOW
AMOUNTS AS ONE MOVES EASTWARD.

THE HEAVIEST SNOW POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY BEFORE

CONDITIONS. SNOW SQUALLS WITH WIND GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH AND

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY MEANS LAKE-EFFECT SNOW IS FORECAST

SHOWERS TYPICALLY ALIGN THEMSELVES IN BANDS AND WILL LIKELY BE
INTENSE ENOUGH TO DROP SEVERAL INCHES IN LOCALIZED AREAS. USE
CAUTION WHEN TRAVELING.
