Slippery midweek in the UP as wet snow, rain-snow mix move in

A system from the Northern Plains stirs up wet snow, mixed rain-snow and blustery wind conditions to Upper Michigan Tuesday night through Wednesday. In addition to slushy and wet road conditions, driving visibility can reduce below a quarter-mile at times from patchy blowing snow.

Snow chances march on Wednesday night, then dwindling overnight as high pressure builds over the region early Thursday (following system passage).

Drier, milder air lingers into the weekend, with a chance of snow to brush by the central and eastern counties Saturday.

The next system to potentially bring widespread snow comes next Monday.

Temperatures tilt from seasonal to above this first week of spring.
