Justin Liles: Lake Superior braces for days of gales, snow, and swirling winds

Wintry Mess Heading Our Way
A strong clipper system is expected to bring high winds and a mix of rain, freezing rain and snow to the Northland from Wednesday into Thursday.
The Storm Track Weather Team has been monitoring the fast-moving storm, which could make travel difficult due to snow and blowing snow. Winds are expected to play a major role, with sustained speeds around 30 mph or more and gusts over 50 mph likely on Thursday.
Travel over the bridges Thursday afternoon may be challenging because of the wind.
Two additional clipper systems are forecast to move through the Northland, possibly bringing accumulating snow Friday night and Saturday and again on Monday.
The Storm Track Weather Team will continue to watch these systems as they move through the region.
