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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Ongoing winter storm continues to bring wintry mixed precipitation
to much of the UP through Friday morning. A changeover to rain is expected
tonight across the far south and eastern UP. Sleet and freezing rain
persist in the west half before precipitation diminishes from
south to north altogether overnight. For more information, see
the latest Winter Weather Message and Area Forecast Discussion.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Another winter storm is expected to bring mainly freezing rain to
the UP Friday night into early Saturday morning. There is a 50-70
percent chance of significant ice accumulations exceeding a
quarter inch in the central and western UP away from the immediate
lakeshores, with amounts of a tenth to a quarter inch expected
elsewhere. Very difficult travel conditions are possible, with
increasing likelihood of tree damage and power outages where the
heaviest icing occurs.

.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.
