Winter Storm to bring heavy snow for the western U.P.

A mesolow pressure system moves into the western counties with heavy snow during the day. Then, lake-effect snow kicks up tomorrow in those areas with the passage of a cold front. Snowfall amounts are expected to range from 12-14″ in some higher elevations of Gogebic and Ontonagon counties. Otherwise, snow amounts in the west range from 8-12″, 4-6″ in central U.P., and 1-3″ in the south. Driving will be very slippery at times. Then, this weekend will be colder with more chances for snow.
