00:00Nobody's terribly cold, but if you head up I-29 to Fargo, you're at 33 degrees, so it's getting a little nippier for some.

00:07The real cold air is going to be charging back in. It's still currently bottled up into Canada.

00:12The past six-hour radar-satellite combination here showing that we've had some light rain and snow tied to a warm front lifting

00:18through parts of far northern Michigan, and we're going to see a little bit of a mixed precipitation event here

00:24through the northern parts of the Upper Peninsula as well.

00:27We have a little bit of rain moving south, so get ready for it in Kansas City.

00:30It won't be much. Not all of this is even reaching the ground, but you may have a few sprinkles out there.

00:35Then it will turn colder tomorrow back into the 30s for highs in the Fountain City.

00:40The most impressive weather in the Midwest and the interior northeast tomorrow will be near the Great Lakes.

00:46For some of us near and just east and southeast of Chicago, get ready for a burst of lake-effect snow,

00:52and areas around Chicago could see, again, maybe a coating of snow that could make things slick,

00:58but into northwest Indiana, you're going to see heavier snow.

01:19Sioux Falls, precisely normal for this time of the year, but look at this.

01:22It's the opposite to the west, running above in Denver and Scotch Bluff.

01:26Not bad out there.

01:27Here is this area of lake-effect snow concern.

01:31Southeast, really south and south-southeast of Lake Michigan,

01:34where we're going to be facing 6 to 12 inches of snow along part of I-80-90 in extreme northwest Indiana.

01:40West to South Bend, east of Gary, Indiana.

01:43Look out for some of that.

01:44Meanwhile, in the northeast, we are dealing with some somewhat chilly air, but it's not that bad out there.
