Weekend disruption of increasing snow and wind comes to Upper Michigan, produced by phasing systems from the Canadian Prairies and the Central Great Plains. With lake enhancement, heavy bursts of snowfall are possible Saturday night as north winds strengthen across Lake Superior.
After a secondary system from the Canadian Prairies spreads light to moderate snow late Sunday night, precipitation chances dry out to begin the new week along with a winter thaw. The mild pattern is short-lived as a surge of Arctic takes hold during the second half of the week — moderate to heavy snow chances follow, along with high wind conditions.
