Harbor Springs Trail Report – 01/09
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/09 We hit record breaking temperatures this morning with 49 degrees in Pellston. It’s still too warm for grooming but the temps are heading in the right direction. We have an operator heading out around 2am to hit as many trails as he can, and then groomers lined up on the grade & east side of the trail system for tomorrow night. Trail 7 (railroad grade) is opened back up for the weekend! They will be closing it again on Monday for a short period but after that they will be done. We do have snow on the way tomorrow & Sunday. Let’s hope we can recoup what we lost. <> <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow will continue to spread across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Accumulations remain consistent to this mornings forecast with 3-6” for most of the area and localized 7”+ possible where heaviest snow falls this evening and tonight. The combination of snow covered roads and reduced visibility will lead to hazardous travel across parts of the area. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryAccumulating snow will continue to spread across northern Michigan today into Sunday.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here's the updated 24-hour snowfall forecast through 7am Sunday (top figure) compared to the same forecast from two days ago (bottom figure). No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey This content isn't available right now WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Wet roadways and surfaces from melting snowpack and rain today combined with temperatures continuing to fall will lead to to potential roadways freezing overnight into Saturday morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Wet, messy roads are expected across many areas this morning due to rain and snow melt. Strong winds are in store later today with gusts to 35-50 mph through this afternoon. Mild temps this morning will fall through the day, eventually transitioning rain to snow across parts of northern Michigan. A brief period of hazardous travel is possible this afternoon with falling snow and strong winds leading to quick drops in visibility for drivers. Snowfall amounts are expected to stay below 1”. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWet, messy roads are expected across many areas this morning due to rain and snow melt.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Rain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday. Temperatures will warm into the 40s and low 50s overnight, combining with rain to quickly melt snow across the area. Localized minor flooding will be possible and widespread fog will lead to reduced visibility. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyRain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday.

Shown below is the expected 24-hour snowfall accumulation from 7pm today through 7pm Friday, along with the 24-hour snowfall from 7am Saturday through 7am Sunday. The 12-hour "gap" in between those two periods is the lull between the two waves of snow, when not much is expected to happen. And the snowmelt from the warm spell today should largely have ceased by then. More snow is also expected after 7am on Sunday and even into Monday, but it's a bit too early to call the snow amounts for that time period. Winter will not succumb to our brief warm spell! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey This content isn't available right now <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
