Accumulating Lake Effect Snow Continues

Accumulating lake effect snow continues... Read More >

Another 3-5” of ADDITIONAL lake effect snow accumulations will be possible today, mainly near Whitefish Point and in the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie and Sugar Island. Hazardous travel is possible at times, with the worst conditions expected through this afternoon across the eastern U.P.
The coldest air of the season so far has entered the region. Low temperatures will drop to the single digits to perhaps even negative single digits tonight with wind chills making it even colder across northern Michigan. However, as we get closer to this weekend, temperatures will trend warmer.
Temperatures warm up this weekend as another system approaches the region. This is expected to bring the chance for a mix of rain and snow, and perhaps even some freezing rain, to the region…especially Saturday night into Sunday. This could make for slick and sloppy roads at times through the weekend, perhaps into early next week.
