1st Major Winter Storm of the Season May Arrive Next Week

November gales may scream once more across areas of the country's middle on the historic Edmund Fitzgerald wreck anniversary.

Next week, a big storm will hit the Plains, Midwest, and western Great Lakes, bringing high winds, heavy snow, and severe thunderstorms.

Rain will turn to snow throughout the northern Plains and Upper Midwest as the storm intensifies Wednesday night into Thursday. From Wednesday night through Friday, several areas from the Dakotas and Nebraska to Minnesota and Wisconsin and western Ontario may likely receive snow. The storm's path will decide where the highest snowfall totals occur.

"By the end of the week, the storm will be slowing and maybe stalling over the northern Great Lakes," Hoegg said. "Snow might persist throughout sections of the area into Friday due to the storm's delayed movement."
