Areas around Lake Michigan are likely to see significant lake-effect snowfall on Sunday. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Chicago and surrounding areas, including Michigan City, Indiana. FOX Weather Correspondent Brandy Campbell reports from Michigan City ahead of the worst impacts.

Forecast maps shared with Newsweek by AccuWeather highlight which areas around the Great Lakes can expect the heaviest snowfall early this week as "an intrusion of Arctic air is igniting the first widespread lake-effect snow of the season from Illinois to New York, with snow stretching as far south as the Appalachians," it says.

Multiple states are under winter weather advisories and could see inches of snow. Florida and other parts of the south are suffering with unusual cold

Warmer waters are fueling stronger, snowier storms—at least for now. Here’s how scientists think this phenomenon will evolve as the planet gets hotter.

The Great Lakes are bracing for the first snowfall of the season as heavy lake-effect snow makes its way to the region. Some areas could see 2 feet of snow with a ceiling up to even 4 feet of snow, bringing the first signs of what will be an impactful La Niña winter to come.
