Pete WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY this afternoon and tonight for the Lower Peninsula south of a line from Alpena to Manistee. Several inches of snow will make traveling slower than usual. Snow moves back into the region today. It’ll be light and scattered in the eastern Upper Peninsula. But in the Lower Peninsula it will be widespread.

Highs today will be mostly in the 20s. A few towns will see 30 degrees. Wind will be noticeable. Not as strong as yesterday, but gusts to 25 mph will blow the snow around. It’ll come from the north or northeast. Tonight…snow in the Lower…maybe a few light snow showers in the U.P. The wind gusting to 25 mph will blow it around and create visibility issues for drivers. Low temperatures will plummet. Lows will be from zero to 8 degrees in the U.P…and from 8 to 22 degrees in the Lower. With the wind, wind chills will be below zero at times. Friday. Most of the snow is gone, but early in the day you could see an inch or two of additional snow near Lake Michigan. Lake effect will develop for a while. The sky in the U.P. will be mostly sunny. Call it mostly cloudy in the Lower, but some sun will break thru in the afternoon. Highs will range from 18 to 28 degrees. Wind 5 to 15 mph from the north or northwest. Friday night the sky will clear…and it will be beautiful…but will be very cold. Temperatures will range from 10 to 22 degrees, but wind gusts to 30 mph will make it feel much colder. Saturday…mostly cloudy. Highs mainly in the 30s.

Temperatures also climb above freezing through the overnight, remaining there until Thursday evening. The bad news is that gusty winds return late tonight into Thursday. Please see the attached graphics for the latest info. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> From Billy Miller in Gaylord. Absolutely wild how trees bend to the ground under the immense weight of the ice. Mary Lou Gagnon-Clark There killing us in Az too . Super sad .

Did you know a 30ft diameter tree can weight up to 7,000 extra lbs with that amount of ice on it? Crazy.
More frequent posting angers the Facebook algorithm. We can fight back by having you like or react to this post even if you don't actually "like" the content. (who does in this case, right?) But, it helps Facebook put the information out there in more news feeds. Heart, like, sad, anger reactions all work. Thanks! #miweather #gaylord
