Justin Liles: Lake Effect Snow along the south shore

[anvplayer video=”5147406″ station=”998130″]

The large low responsible for our recent round of weather has pushed farther northeast. This has created northerly winds. Colder air spilling in from Canada will interact with the warmer water of Lake Superior. Lake effect snow showers will fall along the Snow Belt. Ashland, Iron and the U.P. of Michigan will see some heavier snowfall amounts. Communities in Iron County, like Hurley and Gile could see up to a foot of snowfall. Iron County is under winter storm warning until 6am Saturday.

All the other counties are under a winter weather advisory until 6am Saturday. Conditions will begin to improve here around the Northland. There will be some light snow returning with our colder air hanging around through next week. Overnight lows may get into the single digits next week.
