Travel impacts are likely, especially along the US 2 corridor west of St. Ignace. In addition, the point-and-click forecast feature for the NWS Gaylord footprint is temporarily offline. Read More >

Our normal point and click forecast will be offline this weekend. We discovered on Friday morning, Feb 20, 2026, that the normal point-and-click forecast (click on a point, get a forecast for that specific area) was displaying incorrect information. In order to provide the best weather information possible, we have turned off the point-and-click for the weekend, until our IT focal point can dig into the problem on Monday. In the meantime, the forecasts on our website will be county-wide forecasts until we can get the point-specific forecasts back to normal. This problem is only in our county warning area and does not appear to impact neighboring offices at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

A clipper system is set to pack a punch as it passes through the region Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Snowfall, heavy at times, will be accompanied by gusty winds that may produce whiteout conditions at times along with blowing / drifting snow. As of now, the highest accumulations are anticipated to favor eastern upper Michigan and the Tip of the Mitt, where moderate to high chances for 6”+ of accumulation exist from Tuesday afternoon / evening through Tuesday night. Travel impacts are likely from this system, especially along the US 2 corridor west of St. Ignace. Be sure to monitor the forecast for the latest updates!
