Light snow and freezing drizzle is likely early today. Patchy glazes of ice may lead to some slippery driving conditions. The transition to all snow will likely happen mid-morning Saturday. Most of the snow looks to fall along the North Shore and U.P. of Michigan where 1-3” of new snow is possible.

All eyes are still on next week. A winter storm is likely to affect the Northland from Tuesday evening through Thursday, with accumulating snow being the primary concern. Make sure to keep an eye on the forecast for updates, since things can and will change before mid-next week.
