A Canadian Prairies clipper (fast-moving) system brushes Upper Michigan Tuesday night mainly with light scattered snow showers. Then, moderate chances of snow occur tomorrow as another clipper system enters the U.P. -- slushy conditions possible due to initially wet snowfall early Wednesday. 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.
