Another significant late season winter storm possible / Record Lows Set


... Another significant late season winter storm possible...

A low pressure system developing in the mid Mississippi River valley
on Monday is forecast to move northeast along a stationary front
stretching across the west central Great Lakes Monday night and
Tuesday. Depending on the track of this low... a band of moderate to
heavy wet snow is likely to fall over at least portions of the west
half of Upper Michigan Monday night and Tuesday morning. Locations
over western Upper Michigan from Ironwood to Rockland... Houghton and
Mohawk have the best chance of picking up 6 to 9 inches of wet snow
during this time. Areas to the east of a line from Marquette to
Crystal Falls are likely to see mainly rain during this event.

Although details are far from certain concerning this late season
winter storm... there is an increasing potential that travel
disruptions will occur over the west half of Upper Michigan Monday
night and Tuesday morning.
