Accumulating Wet, Heavy Snow and Freezing Rain Late Tonight - Wednesday

A combo of wet, heavy snow and freezing rain will lead to hazardous travel late tonight into Wednesday night. Read More >

Wintry mix of wet snow, sleet, and freezing rain set to impact much of northern lower and eastern upper Michigan starting tonight into Wednesday. Heaviest snow, potentially in the order of 10”+ in spots, favors eastern upper Michigan, while greatest ice impacts favor much of northern lower along and EAST of US 131. Mainly rain is expected near and south of Grand Traverse Bay.
No rest for the weary as yet another messy winter system sets its eyes on the Northwoods. This system will be a touch warmer, so less in the way of snow and more in the way of sleet and freezing rain is expected. Best chances for wintry weather favor the Tip of the Mitt and across the Big Bridge into eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snow then builds in the wake of this system as colder air makes a return.
Aside from a break in the action Thursday, we will embark on quite the messy wintry trend through the rest of the week as a pair of systems deliver rounds of wintry mix to the region, especially the farther north one goes into northern Michigan. Eventually, colder air returns to the region and lake effect snow builds Friday night into Saturday. Be sure to monitor the forecast for updates!
