Sunday and Monday bring the main event, and the models are tightly converged on a long-duration storm with heavy snow, strong northeast to north winds, and the best totals centered on northern Wisconsin and northern Lower Michigan.

Confidence is highest from Thursday night through Friday night, when guidance is tightly clustered on a fast clipper crossing the Upper Midwest with snow spreading west to east and peak rates overnight. Lutsen, Giants Ridge, Whitecap, Mount Bohemia, and the northern Lower Michigan hills should land near 4″-9″, while Granite Peak looks more borderline with wetter 3″-4″ totals and snow levels briefly rising toward 1,800 feet.
