933 FOUS11 KWBC 100850 QPFHSD Probabilistic Heavy Snow and Icing Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 350 AM EST Mon Nov 10 2025 Valid 12Z Mon Nov 10 2025 - 12Z Thu Nov 13 2025 ...Great Lakes through Interior Northeast and Appalachians... Days 1-2... Deepening upper-low over northern Indiana early this morning swings southeast over the Ohio Valley today before crossing the Mid- Atlantic tonight before lifting over New England Tuesday. Strong and cold northerly flow in the wake of the low persists over Lakes Superior and Michigan today with northwesterly flow over the eastern Great Lakes. The cold airmass will have 850mb temps of -10 to -12Z (near the DGZ) which compared to lake temps around +10C will make for efficient LES banding and a decent, but short lived lake effect event. Furthermore, northwesterly flow into the central Appalachians will make for a decent upslope snow event in West Virginia. Day 1 snow probs for >6" after 12Z are over 50% in the western shore of MI from Manistee to Muskegon and south from Holland into north-central Indiana. Of note, recent HRRRs have maintained the heavy snow banding in Chicago into the mid-morning hours (longer than previously forecast). These higher snow probs are also over northwest PA and the Chautauqua Ridge area of far western New York and along the southern shore of Lake Ontario as well as the Allegheny Highlands of WV. As flow becomes more westerly tonight, the focus over Lake Ontario shifts farther east and includes the southern Tug Hill to Syracuse where Day 1.5 probs for >6" are around 40%. Warm air advection on westerly flow over spreads the eastern Great Lakes Tuesday night with some higher elevation LES continuing into Wednesday. The probability of significant icing is less than 10 percent. Jackson $$
