Accumulating Snow Today and Tonight

Accumulating Lake Effect Snow Thursday

Bitter Cold Heading Into the Weekend

Light to moderate snow will continue today for most areas. A few spots in NW lower will see a couple rounds of heavier snow, one this morning and another this evening. Winds will strengthen late in the day with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph over NW lower and 15 to 25 mph elsewhere.

Another punch of arctic air will bring more accumulating lake effect snow to the region Thursday into Thursday night. Highest totals right now are expected to favor the usual WNW flow snowbelts of northern Michigan. Gusty winds will lead to blowing snow and low visibilities, with hazardous travel likely on tap as temperatures fall going into the end of the work week. Stay tuned for additional details as we get closer.

Coldest air so far this winter season is expected to overspread the upper Great Lakes Thursday night and Friday. Bitter cold will continue through the weekend…with wind chills below zero through Sunday morning. High temperatures Friday likely to remain below zero across the Upper Peninsula.
