Much of the national media has been paying close attention to a powerful winter storm bringing snow, freezing rain, sleet, and severe weather to much of the eastern half of the United States. While Upper Michigan will miss out on any direct effects from this storm, we're still dealing with wintery weather from another source.
Lake effect snows are currently falling through much of the northern U.P., with the heaviest snow falling in the north-central highlands of Marquette County. As much as three to six inches is possible here through overnight hours, and the snow could be heavy when it comes down. Western Alger County could also pick up some higher amounts, but any other accumulations will be very light. Anything that makes it to southern counties will be very light.
If anything, this powerful storm missing the U.P. will help us out with the weather. Any lingering lake effect snows should end by tomorrow afternoon, and Wednesday night looks to be fairly clear and not too cold, just seasonably chilly. Expect a moderating trend for the temperatures through the end of the week, with highs returning to the 20s.
