...ACCUMULATING LAKE EFFECT SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY... .Lake effect rain showers transition to snow Wednesday evening and continue through Friday. Wet snow accumulations are expected away from the Lake Superior shoreline with several inches of snowfall over the higher terrain.

What

Lake effect snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 8 inches over the higher elevations of Marquette County and Baraga County with locally up to 10 inches. Less than an inch of snowfall is expected near the Lake Superior shoreline. Winds gusting as high as 30 mph and up to 40 mph near Lake Superior.

Impacts

Additional details

Lake effect rain showers will transition to all snow Wednesday evening. Warmer temperatures near Lake Superior will limit accumulations to less than an inch near the lakeshore, including the city of Marquette. Conditions will deteriorate rapidly as you move inland, particularly US-41 between Marquette and Negaunee. Some improvement to travel is expected Thursday afternoon as temperatures warm to near or slightly above freezing, with deteriorating conditions again Thursday evening, around sunset.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. During lake effect snow, the weather can vary from bands of locally heavy snow to dry weather just a few miles away. Visibilities can also vary greatly. Be prepared for rapid changes in weather, visibility, and road conditions.
