Weather Updates from TV6 Meteorologists Karl Bohnak and Jennifer Perez
High pressure over Northwestern Ontario steers northwesterly winds and cold air to Upper Michigan Wednesday night, producing scattered lake effect snow showers over the region. Snow tapers off overnight, with few to scattered coverage continuing over the eastern counties near Lake Superior -- light accumulations from a trace to one inch of snow expected.
Dry air mixes in aloft for a mostly sunny Thursday in the U.P., with snow showers expected to taper off east in the afternoon.
Mostly clear sky conditions continue on Friday, then clouds increase late afternoon as a Colorado-based system approaches the region. The winter storm brings potentially heavy snow and a wintry mix to Upper Michigan this weekend, impacting road travel due to slippery, icy road conditions plus poor driving visibility from gusty winds.
