A burst of snow will be the departing shot from this system as it treks east of the area. An uptick in wind gusts and snowfall intensity is likely, which will lead to impacts for the Friday evening commute. Be cognizant of rapidly changing conditions if you’re out and about this evening, northern Michigan!
A major winter storm is likely to impact Michigan Sunday into Monday, including the potential for 12-24”+ snowfall, significant icing and strong winds across parts of northern Michigan. Current trends favor most of the heavy snow favoring far northern lower Michigan and especially the eastern U.P. Vast uncertainties exist elsewhere due to potential for mixed precipitation, including significant amounts of sleet and freezing rain... with potential for plain rain to occur the farther south and east one goes. Be sure to monitor the forecast for the latest updates!
