Scattered light snow showers are expected to develop tonight, but
little in the way of snow accumulation is expected. Widespread
snow is then expected to overspread the area on Thursday. Slushy
snow accumulations of an inch or two are expected Thursday. It
will also become windy on Thursday with west to southwest gusts to
30 to 35 mph. The combination of snow and windy conditions may
result in limited visibilities at times. With initially warmer
ground conditions and temperatures hovering around the freezing
mark, confidence remains low in how much snow will accumulate on
roadways Thursday, but motorists should be alert to the
possibility of some slick conditions during the period of greatest
snowfall rates from midday Thursday through late Thursday

Lake effect snow showers are expected to develop late this evening
and especially during the overnight hours. Some light
accumulations of generally an inch or less are possible by
daybreak, mainly across grassy surfaces. There is a greater chance
of travel impacts on Thursday as an area of widespread snow
affects the area. Slushy snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are
expected Thursday. It will also become windy on Thursday with
west to southwest gusts to 30 to 35 mph. The combination of snow
and windy conditions may result in limited visibilities at times.
With initially warmer ground conditions and temperatures hovering
around the freezing mark, confidence remains low in how much snow

possibility of some slick conditions during the period of greatest

Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening.

...MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...

Ongoing rainfall across northern lower Michigan is expected to
mix with and eventually flip to a wet, sloppy snow through the
evening into the overnight hours, favoring areas away from the
immediate Great Lakes shorelines of northern lower Michigan. Snow
will likely struggle to stick to surfaces initially before
temperatures fall to near 32 degrees later tonight, which may
allow any ongoing snow to stick.

A general 1 to 3 inches of accumulation will be possible,
particularly across the higher terrain of north central lower
Michigan. As a result, roads may become slushy and slippery for
the morning commute on Thursday. Extra time may be required for
the commute, and remember to take it slow in ice and snow!

Total snow is likely to be between 1 and 3 inches with some
locally higher amounts. Accumulations will be highest on grassy

ground temperatures.

Slow down, drive carefully, and allow extra time to
