Sunny breaks, off-and-on snow brushing first week of December

It’s a production of light to moderate snow showers this week in Upper Michigan -- initially by the lake effect and then by a series of clipper systems traveling eastward along the Canadian Prairies. The moderate chances of snow to brush the region occur Wednesday, with slushy conditions possible due to mainly wet snowfall. Towards the weekend, a southwesterly jet in conjunction with a building high pressure ridge lends to U.P. temps trending above seasonal, with highs in the 40s possible Saturday through next Monday.
