A clipper system is set to pack a punch as it passes through the region Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Snowfall, heavy at times, will be accompanied by gusty winds that may produce whiteout conditions at times along with blowing / drifting snow. As of now, the highest accumulations are anticipated to favor eastern upper Michigan and the Tip of the Mitt, where moderate to high chances for 6”+ of accumulation exist from Tuesday afternoon / evening through Tuesday night. Travel impacts are likely from this system, especially along the US 2 corridor west of St. Ignace. Be sure to monitor the forecast for the latest updates!
