The southern tier of an Ontario-based system brushes Upper Michigan on Thanksgiving night, bringing several bands of mixed rain and snow. Following the system’s passage is the development of lake effect rain and snow over the northwest wind belts Friday morning. Then, clouds and precipitation gradually clear out west to east in the daytime, as high pressure builds over the U.P. Pleasant autumn weather reawakens into the weekend before widespread rain and snow return later Sunday.

Later next week, a northwesterly jet stream drives cold polar air into the region for a wintry start to December 2022 in the Upper Peninsula.
