Lake effect snow showers will continue into tonight across parts of northern Michigan. The highest amounts of additional snow are expected in areas near and southwest of Grand Traverse Bay, with 2-6” this afternoon through tonight. Cold temperatures will impact the entire region with wind chills below zero this afternoon into Thursday morning.
Wind chills will lower below zero across northern Michigan this afternoon into Thursday morning. Parts of eastern upper and north central lower Michigan will drop into the teens below zero. Be sure to bundle up!
An active weather pattern is in store this weekend as multiple systems track through the Great Lakes region delivering widespread accumulating snow chances this Friday and Sunday followed by classic northwest lake effect snow. Temperatures remain chilly as highs drop to the teens for most locations this Sunday and Monday.
Confidence continues to increase that a shot of Arctic air will visit the Great Lakes region early next week. Combination of bitterly cold temperatures and gusty winds could result in dangerously cold wind chills developing both Monday and Tuesday. Please monitor future updates on this potentially dangerously cold period of weather.
