Justin Liles: Snow to taper off this afternoon

The massive low influencing the weather over the Northland is still in play this weekend. We should wake up Saturday morning to light snow flying about for most of us. Now we aren’t expecting to get a lot of snow but once again we might be waking up to a light coating on mostly grassy surfaces. The emphasis will then shift to the south shore as the lake effect snow machine gets going.

Iron county and the U.P of Michigan may see as much as 6-9″ of snow in places near Mercer. The majority of the region will likely see 3-6″ of new snow. This won’t begin until Sunday afternoon-evening and last through early Tuesday morning. Temperatures do look to rebound some by the middle of next week.
