An advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. Sunday for Ashland and Iron counties, where lake-effect snow bands will prolong the event. Total snowfall of 4 to 7 inches is expected, with the greatest snow amounts from Birch Hill in northeastern Ashland County east across the Gogebic Range to Hurley.
Gusty winds will create areas of blowing and drifting snow. Drivers should exercise caution if traveling across the advisory area.
