Accumulating Lake Effect Snow Tonight

Wintry Week Ahead

Light snow will continue to overspread the area, though greatest accumulations will be near the Lake Michigan coast up into the Straits, where southwest flow will keep lake effect snow bands focused. Potential for a heavy band downwind of Little Traverse Bay overnight could lead to totals by Tuesday morning around a foot in parts of Emmet county. Expect reduced visibilities and quick accumulations of snow on roadways leading to hazardous travel, with particular concerns for US-31 north of Petoskey and I-75 between Indian River and the Mackinac Bridge.

Wintry weather continues through the rest of the week, with chances for snow…especially Wednesday…and temperatures running 5-10 degrees below normal for early December. The exception will be after a quick hitting cold front plows in midweek, potentially dropping high temperatures down into the teens.
