Copper City, Michigan

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 7 PM EST /6 PM
CST/ this evening to 1 am EST /midnight CST/ Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Marquette has continued a Winter
Storm Warning... which remains in effect from 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/
this evening to 1 am EST /midnight CST/ Thursday.

* Widespread snow will move into Upper Michigan this evening and
increase in intensity late tonight. The snow will begin to
taper off late Wednesday. Strong winds will create significant
blowing snow late tonight through Wednesday evening... with near
blizzard conditions possible. Lake effect snow is expected
Wednesday night downwind of Lake Superior.

* Storm total snow accumulations of 12 to 18 inches are forecast
through Wednesday night. Locally higher amounts are possible...
especially near Lake Superior over far western Upper Michigan
from Ironwood and Wakefield to The Porcupine mountains.

* Expect northeast winds to increase to 15 to 30 mph with gusts
to 40 mph at times... especially near Lake Superior and the Bay
of Green Bay. Near blizzard conditions are possible close to
the Great Lakes on Wednesday.

* The heavy snow... in combination with considerable blowing snow
whipped up by the gusty northeast winds... will cause visibility to
be reduced to less than one quarter of a mile at times late
tonight into Wednesday evening. These near blizzard conditions
may cause roads in exposed locations to become impassable.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and blowing snow means
severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring.
Significant amounts of snow... along with widespread blowing
snow... are forecast that will make travel dangerous tonight
through Wednesday night. Only travel in an emergency. If you must
travel... keep an extra flashlight... food... and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency.

... High waves... minor Lakeshore flooding and beach erosion
expected Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening...

Strong low pressure passing by to the south and southeast on
Wednesday will bring strong north to northeast winds as high as
45 mph to Western Lake Superior late tonight through Wednesday evening.
This will generate waves as high as 25 feet Wednesday along much
of the western Upper Michigan shoreline.

Waves this high will cause beach erosion and some minor shoreline
flooding of low lying areas. Owners of property near the Lake Superior
shoreline are urged to listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your local
media for later updates on this situation and take appropriate
action to protect property. People are urged to stay away from the
shoreline due to high waves Wednesday into Wednesday night.
