Colder temperatures will usher in the potential for lake effect precipitation late this week, especially later Thursday into Friday. Snow showers will be possible, mainly across portions of eastern upper and northwest lower (Grand Traverse Bay especially). Snow may mix in elsewhere as well Thursday night. Uncertainties revolve around how much snow actually falls/sticks, and how much rain mixes in. Nevertheless…stay tuned!
5am 11/11/26 - Scattered to numerous light showers expected across northern Michigan today. Much colder weather arrives for the end of this week as gusty north winds develop. Expecting high temperatures both Thursday and Friday in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Combination of those colder temperatures and gusty winds will crank up the old lake effect machine…with a mixture of rain and snow showers both Thursday and Friday…especially in those favored north flow areas. Some snow accumulation is anticipated across interior higher elevation areas. Still cool this weekend, with just some lingering light lake effect rain and snow showers.
