The next round of accumulating snow will arrive late tonight into Friday for parts (but not all) of Northern Michigan transitioning to lake effect into Friday n
Today, though, much of Michigan will still see some lake-effect snow. It’s forecast to be heavy in a few spots across the state, with the very southwest corner of Michigan under a Winter Weather Advisory that could bring up to 5 inches of snow. A couple areas of the Upper Peninsula are also in the 3 to 6-inch snow forecast zone.
Winter storm to move in Friday, bringing heavy snow chances especially to the Northern and Eastern U.P. -- whiteouts possible throughout.
Here's a look at this week across Michigan. It will be totally wintry on temperatures. Only one region and one type of snow is expected this week.
Friday morning snow won't last long with raindrops arriving later. Cold Canadian air moves in for the weekend.
The National Weather Service rescinded a winter storm warning for Metro Detroit early Sunday, downgrading expected snow totals, but continued and expanded them in northern Michigan, where upwards of a foot remains possible in areas.
System snow spreads in later Saturday night before the lakeshore sees lake-effect snow heading into Sunday afternoon. Snow totals will stay between 2-4" area wide.
In Southeast Michigan, the snow is expected to develop after 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. with light snow during Saturday. One to 3 inches of snow is expected through Saturday afternoon for most areas. A second round of more intense snow is possible late Saturday evening into Sunday bringing the potential for snow accumulation more than 6 inches.
Snow will first start in our northwest spots like Houghton Lake, Harrison, and Clare as it migrates in from the west. Starting time is around 6 AM. As this steady snow moves in, roads will turn slick up north. We expect main roads to be more slushy, but it should accumulate easier on unpaved roads.
Additional lake effect snow of 1-3" is possible through tomorrow afternoon. Arctic air and blustery conditions will be in place this week.
