Weather Updates from TV6 Meteorologists Karl Bohnak and Jennifer Perez
Lake Superior-enhanced snow showers persist Friday night over Upper Michigan in the wake of an exiting cold front. The mainly light intensity snowfall can produce 1-3″ additional snowfall accumulations through Saturday, resulting in potential slick road conditions to kick off the weekend. Coupled with gusty northwesterly winds, visibility can be reduced to less than 2 miles due to blowing snow.

High pressure eventually moves in Saturday afternoon to clear out snow and clouds in Upper Michigan, with above seasonal temperatures climbing along a southwesterly jet stream Sunday.
The southwesterly jet stream, however, opens the door to Central Plains-based systems to bring widespread rain, even thunderstorm chances to Upper Michigan next week.
