Brushes of light snow with sunny breaks this weekend

View NWS alerts in effect here.

Benign weather pattern this weekend in Upper Michigan as high pressure builds towards Saturday -- light snow, flurries but also sunny breaks possible through Sunday.

Next week, a series of systems from the Canadian Prairies and U.S. Northern Plains bring light to moderate snow chances. Come Friday, a northerly jet stream dips into Upper Michigan to bring below seasonal temperatures -- a frigid stretch to end January 2023 in the U.P.
