This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Upper
Michigan and western Upper Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Mixed wintry precipitation could start entering into the U.P.
tonight. A few inches of snow and sleet, as well as a couple of
tenths of an inch of ice, are possible tonight through Thursday
night. For more information, see the latest Winter Weather Message
and Area Forecast Discussion.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Heavy mixed precipitation is possible Thursday through Thursday
night. The north half of the UP may see 3-5 inches with the
Keweenaw potentially seeing over 6 inches of snow. The south half
could see up to 2 inches of snow and sleet. In addition to the
snow, ice accumulations of one to two tenths of an inch are
possible across the UP, except for the high terrain of Baraga and
Marquette Counties where up to four tenths of an inch are
possible. For more information, see the latest Winter Weather
Message and Area Forecast Discussion.

Ponding of water is possible in the low-lying and poor drainage
areas Thursday into Friday morning.

Some minor lakeshore flooding and beach erosion is possible along
the east-facing side of the Keweenaw Thursday.

Mixed wintry precipitation, especially freezing rain, is also
becoming increasingly likely this weekend as another low pressure
lifts into the region. The ice on top of the ice, sleet, and snow
received tonight through Thursday night could complicate recovery
efforts.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to submit snowfall and ice reports to the
National Weather Service via phone, on our website, or through
social media.
