Cold northwesterly winds blowing across the relatively warm waters of Lake Superior are expected to produce lake-effect snow bands off Lake Superior today. Local amounts of 5 to 10 cm snow are possible in some areas.

Lake-effect snow may taper off tonight after the winds shift to westerly.

Very low visibility could occur at times under the heavy snow and local blowing snow today. Motorists are advised to take extra precautions in poor weather driving conditions.
