The National Weather Service issued a lake-effect snow advisory for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, warning that travel may become hazardous during Thursday and Friday commutes as forecast snow totals vary by location.
The advisory covers Baraga and Marquette counties. The heaviest snowfall is possible in rural areas north of U.S. 41 and west of Marquette County Road 510, where totals could reach 10 inches. Higher elevations are forecast to receive three to eight inches, while places near Lake Superior may see less than an inch.
The agency flags Thursday and Friday commute periods as times when driving conditions may deteriorate. The Michigan advisory is scheduled to expire at noon Friday ET.
Separately, the Weather Prediction Center expects rain across the Northeast Thursday and Friday. Its forecast places snow mainly in higher terrain of upstate New York, northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New England, with accumulations in those areas extending into Friday.
