Lake effect rain turning to lake effect snow tonight
Lake effect rain transitions to lake effect snow Wednesday Night, starting an extended period of wintry weather through Saturday afternoon. Heavy snow is possible in the higher terrain west of Marquette during this time. Rain showers will transition to snow between 6 PM and 9 PM Wednesday Night as a cold front moves through. A Winter Weather Advisory begins at 10 PM for Baraga and Marquette Counties. Temperatures will fall below freezing in the interior, leading to slushy accumulations. Snowfall rates could reach up to one inch per hour overnight, creating difficult travel conditions in the higher elevations where 4 to 8 inches of snow are expected through Friday. Lake effect snow continues through Saturday, with the higher impacts occurring Thursday Night into Friday morning. While the immediate shoreline may see less than an inch, the higher terrain has a 40 percent chance to see totals exceeding 12 inches if heavy snow bands persist. Conditions improve Saturday afternoon as the snow diminishes. Looking ahead to Sunday and early next week, a warming trend begins with temperatures rebounding into the upper 40s and low 50s.
