Winter weather persists with potential for more snow and strong winds.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued winter alerts for Upper Michigan as a Central Plains system brings moderate to heavy rain, sleet, and snow, along with powerful winds. Snow amounts can range from 10-15 inches in some areas, with winds strengthening to gale force on Saturday. Limited visibility from blowing snow, lakeshore flooding, tree damage, and power outages are all possible before the snow and wind taper off later Saturday. A fast-moving clipper system is expected to bring light to moderate snow over the region through early Monday.
