across the midwest. now on the leading edge of that cold air, actually out ahead of it, we have seen the line of thunderstorms that fired up and the thunderstorms are moving about 7 miles per hour. so that being said there's wind gusts going on that are 70 miles per hour they have severe thunderstorm warnings blizzard warnings continue in northern minnesota smacked with heavy snow expecting over a foot of snow in some pourss of that area. but first and foremost we have the thunderstorms coming. and i think we could hear rumble of thunder later tonight all of it will continue to move to the east fading but as it does it will rumble through the area in the early morning hours. so, let's go hour by hour here we will break it down a little bit. rain showers windy conditions in the morning. temperatures 50s before daybreak and 40s and look at 30s going throughout afternoon. the wind is going to be a particular interest tomorrow not only for the speed but also the direction. southwest wind to start look at

or so. gust upwards of 35, 40, 4550 miles per hour the farther east you go. late day, you can see how the wind shift tax mace and that's when the lake -- takes place and that's when the lake-effect takes. take place. here comes the thunderstorms from the west. they don't look too impressive as of right now. once they get here, but we could hear a few rumbles of thunder. 6 a.m. rain showers coming down. look at temperatures still in the 50s. the 40s. and 8 a.m. we have got rain on the i-77 corridor heading out to the east and by midday we get a break. the temperatures have fallen though. about another 10 degrees so 10 to 15 degree temperature drop in about four hours and it will be windy but at times we will greet breaks. it's not the gobbing a -- we will get brats. it's nod-- we will get breaks. it's noted going to be a washout. rain or snow continues through

the hour. a lake mitch been a connection is responsible and we -- michigan connection is a possible and we could see snow off the lake-effect we could get minor accumulations. but check out this bad boy a pretty healthy flow off lake erie continuing saturday night. that's when the bulk of the lake-effect snow goes on. here's the secret sweet spot back here into western sek of northern medina northern summit county. it will shift but it does lock ke there is. and as you can see we will continue to have that lake effect in the morning. so generally speaking, outside of the primary and secondary snow belts we won't get that much but there's one to four here in this area. and 3 to 6. remember if this really sets up gets cranking, if we get the accumulation to stick, we could have some higher amounts in the locations. it's going to be one to keep an eye on. window nation forecast 50 and falling tomorrow. 30s on sunday as the lake- effect winds down. clouds on monday, and finally as we head towards thanksgiving
