Lake effect rain showers become widespread this afternoon and transition to snow tonight. An extended period of lake effect snow is expected tonight into Saturday. The most impactful periods look to be during the overnight and early morning hours, especially Thursday night into Friday.
Snowfall of 4 to 8 inches is expected tonight through Friday over the higher terrain of Marquette and Alger counties with 1 to 3 inches elsewhere (expect less close to Lake Superior, Menominee County and the Eastern U.P.). There is a 60% chance for snowfall exceeding 10 inches in the highest terrain, along and west of the Dead River Basin.
