Chilly air creeping into the U.P. Thursday, plus lake effect snow

Lake effect snow to persist over the NW wind belts overnight through Thursday morning, at times moderate in the eastern counties near the Lake Superior shore. Take caution traveling near the Lake Superior shore as the potential for blowing snow can reduce driving visibility on slick and icy roads. Around 1″ of fresh snowfall expected in the Keweenaw, 2″ to 3″ in the Eastern U.P. Chilly air sweeps Upper Michigan tonight, and coupled with a stiff northwesterly wind can produce -10 to -30 wind chills into Thursday morning.
