Icy Wintry Mix Today

Severe Thunderstorms Possible Tonight

Forecast Through the Weekend

A wintry mix will overspread south to north this morning into the evening. 0.10” to 0.25” of ice is forecast for most of northern Michigan, with locally higher amounts possible, and up to 1” of snow/sleet. Temperatures will warm through the day from south to north, with above freezing temps expected by the evening, changing remaining precipitation to rain.

A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible tonight, mainly in northern Lower Michigan between 8 pm and 2 am. Any severe storms could produce damaging wind gusts and heavy rain. However, large hail and a tornado or two can not be ruled out.

Quiet and mild Friday, especially in our southern areas. Rain develops for most Friday night into Saturday, but a wintry mix including freezing rain is likely to return to the eastern UP. Cool but somewhat quieter weather will close out the weekend and start the work week.
