The winter storm that affected much of the Northeast yesterday is beginning to wind down, but another system will bring blizzard conditions to portions of the Dakotas and Minnesota today. Moisture is limited and snow accumulations will only be around half an inch, however, the bigger story will be the winds. Winds will increase to 35 miles per hour with higher gusts possible through the early evening. For portions of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, 3-5 inches of snow will be possible through tonight.
