An early-season snowstorm will finish up in the Great Lakes on Halloween after bringing snow to parts of the Plains, Midwest and Rockies earlier in the week.
The Weather Channel has named this system Winter Storm Bessie.
Light to locally moderate snow was spreading from the mid-Mississippi Valley into the western Great Lakes on Thursday morning, including Milwaukee and parts of Chicagoland. Slushy accumulations could slow down travel in these areas.
Rain changing to snow will also pivot through other parts of the Great Lakes region through Thursday night, including Indiana, Michigan, northern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania.
The heaviest snow from this storm has already fallen in the Rockies. Additional accumulations in the Great Lakes region will be light with most areas receiving 3 inches or less.
Gusty winds will also accompany the storm in the Great Lakes as the area of low pressure moves through. The strongest winds will be in western New York where gusts up to 65 mph are possible Thursday night into Friday. Those winds could down trees and knock out power.
Storm Recap
Denver picked up 7.7 inches of snow at Denver International Airport as this snowstorm dropped southward through the Rockies Tuesday into Wednesday.
A burst of heavier snow moved through the Chicago metro area early Wednesday morning. Western suburbs of the city received 1 to 3 inches of slushy accumulation.
