Is this possible Lake Effect coming our way?

Much of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest will likely be shielded from precipitation as a dip in the jet stream steers the storm around to the Northeast instead, but areas by the Great Lakes should keep an eye out this week.
"It is that time of year where these systems have the potential for some decent snowfall due to the available moisture during the fall months," Rinde added.
This flow, in combination with the cold air in place over the Great Lakes, can also cause some lake-effect snow, especially off the northwestern Great Lakes.
"Some of this snow could accumulate in the overnight hours," added Roys.
As the week comes to a close, the potential for storms continues across the region, especially in southern areas.
"There is the potential for another round of enhanced precipitation across the southern Plains, Gulf Coast and Southeast next weekend as a storm tracks eastward," said Roys.
