Bitterly Cold this Morning

5-Day Forecast

Ice Jams Possible Next Couple Weeks

Bitterly cold temperatures are expected this morning, with wind chills in the -15 to -30 F range, especially for the eastern UP and the interior of northern Lower Michigan. Additionally, some areas along the lake MI shoreline are expected to receive around 1” of snow through this evening.

Very cold weather to end the week, but our temperatures gradually recover moving through the weekend. Some snow showers can be expected today into tonight, especially near the coastlines of the Great Lakes. Another chance for snow arrives Sunday night into Monday morning, but otherwise our weather looks relatively quiet.

Very cold temperatures the past several days has promoted ice growth on rivers. This could lead to ice jams and potential flooding. Pay attention to river levels by going to weather.gov and clicking on Northern Michigan, then click on Rivers and Lakes, and select your gauge of interest. Report ice jams and subsequent flooding if you see any!
