Currently raining with a light mix & 32 degrees here in the Keweenaw. Currently looks like the rain mix is to change to all snow tonight with expected accumulation of 2". Currently, Saturdays forecast, has the precipitation to end with snow expected to fall on Sunday. Accumulations are unknown at this time. This pattern has the professionals uncertain of the outcome & I can see why with all of the irregularities in all of model runs as they are constantly changing. Include all other variables that are taken into account for a forecast it seems to be enough to make a meteorologist dizzy.
