Cold and Snowy Weekend

Lake effect snow showers will occur today and tonight across northern Michigan. Parts of northwest and northeast lower Michigan, along with eastern upper Michigan, will see better accumulations. The highest amounts are expected in areas near and southwest of Grand Traverse Bay, with 3-7” of new snow today and tonight, and locally higher amounts of 8”+ possible. Widespread falling temperatures will impact the entire region with wind chills near/below zero this afternoon into Thursday morning.

Much colder air invades northern Michigan today, with rapidly falling temperatures and gusty winds. Winds will lower below zero in most of northern Michigan for 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 on your commutes today, as it will be a drastic change compared to Tuesday.

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.
