Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan should all see some snow in the coming week, if the new GFS model is correct, as expected temperatures dip into the 30s.
For the lucky in Wyoming, that snow will only fall on the mountains.

‘I suspect any ‘lake effect’ in Michigan will be ice pellets embedded in rain showers coming off the lakes, which are probably still too warm for snow,’ wrote Roy W. Spencer on his personal site.
Spencer bills himself as a climatologist, author, and former NASA scientist.
‘Michigan lake effect snow usually holds off till October, at the earliest,’ he added.

According to Accuweather, the coldest air since last spring will move south from Canada and across the northern and central plains, Midwest and the east slopes of the Rockies.
