The Upper Peninsula will get the brunt of a clipper system sweeping across Michigan. It is expected to make a swift exit on Thursday.

A clipper storm, as defined by the National Weather Service, is a fast-moving storm that drops into the U.S. over the Great Lakes from Alberta, Canada. As of 4:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Dave Dombek, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, revealed that snow is already falling upstate and would continue to do so through Wednesday evening.

A clipper system is expected to sweep across northern Wisconsin on Tuesday, bringing snow and windy conditions.

A fast-moving storm system is rapidly moving through the Northeast, bringing a combination of snow, wind and the risk of snow squalls, particularly across the interior and portions of New England.
