Snow squalls likely today.
Lake effect flurries off Lake Superior early this morning are expected to slowly intensify this morning ahead of an approaching trough. The activity should slowly shift southward this evening as winds become more northwesterly with the passage of the trough.
Local snowfall amounts up to 15 cm are possible. Travel along Highway 17 is expected to be hazardous.
