Accumulating Lake Effect and Strong Winds Tonight - Monday

Accumulating lake effect snow and blowing snow is expected across parts of northern Michigan tonight into Monday AM. Read More >

Lake effect snow showers will begin tonight behind the passing cold front, bringing accumulations to localized parts of northern Michigan. The primary concern will be quick drops in visibility due to the combination of falling snow and strong wind gusts of 25-40 mph, leading to hazardous travel conditions at times. Highest amounts are expected north of the bridge with lesser amounts across northwest lower.
Snow showers are expected to wind down through Monday, leaving the middle of the work week precip-free for the Northwoods. Temperatures look to gradually warm back into the 40s as the week progresses.
Spending the season opener in northern Michigan? The morning looks to start off mild with temperatures in the 40s and 50s, winds mainly out of the south, and patchy fog and drizzle hanging around parts of the area. Temperatures will warm into the 50s and low 60s by afternoon with winds shifting to west and northwest heading into the evening as a cold front moves through. Breezy conditions are in store by late morning/early afternoon with sustained winds around 15 mph and gusts up to 25-40 mph as light rain moves in from the northwest.
