Winding down, clearing out to a mild and sunny Wednesday

Migrating high pressure from the Dakotas eases down the wind flow and helps clear out lake effect snow and clouds in Upper Michigan overnight -- setting up for a mild and mostly sunny Wednesday in the region. Later in the evening however, clouds increase from the south as a Central Plains system approaches the Great Lakes region. The system spreads a wintry mix/wet snow over Upper Michigan Thursday, at times falling heavy. It’s a transition to lake effect snow as the system pushes east of the U.P. Friday. Total amounts of snow from Thursday to Friday can range up to 4-6″ mainly in areas east.
