Early Season Snow Storm

[yamalaris]

Since John hasn't started his winter forecasts yet I thought this would be ok to post:

...SIGNIFICANT SNOW POSSIBLE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AWAY FROM LAKE
SUPERIOR OVER THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHEAST FROM THE
MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON FRIDAY TO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
BY SATURDAY MORNING MAY BRING THE FIRST HEAVY SNOWFALL OF THE
SEASON TO PORTIONS OF THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN. EXPECT SNOW
TO OVERSPREAD THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN ON FRIDAY. THE
SNOW...MIXED WITH RAIN ESPECIALLY NEAR THE GREAT LAKES...MAY FALL
HEAVY AT TIMES OVER THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN BEFORE
DIMINISHING TO SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS ON SATURDAY MORNING.

DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS EARLY WINTER
STORM...AS MUCH AS 2 TO 9 INCHES OF WET SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE ACROSS
AREAS INLAND FROM THE GREAT LAKES WEST OF A LINE FROM MUNISING TO
ROCK AND DAGGETT ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS
MOST LIKELY IN A SWATH FROM MARENISCO...WATERSMEET AND IRON RIVER
TO BRUCE CROSSING...WATTON AND THE HURON MOUNTAINS. THIS WET AND
HEAVY SNOWFALL WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BREAK TREE LIMBS AND
CAUSE NUMEROUS POWER OUTAGES.

Think Snow!
