Welcome to December Mid-Michigan! I’m your neighborhood reporter Asya Lawrence here in Lansing learning about the “Pathway to Construction” program which is bringing the 2nd electric home to the Lansing community. The all- electric home will be equipped with solar panels and will save the future home owner money on electric bills. If this futuristic home interests you, it will be complete and on the market by March of 2025. Here’s a photo of the developer, Brent Forsberg, with a bottle he found from the original construction crew for good luck!!!
Today's Weather Forecast
Air temperatures today are looking to break the recent trend of staying below freezing with highs expected at 33 degrees.
However, wind chill will continue to make all of our neighborhoods feel below freezing today. Our winds will pick up this evening with strong southwesterly flow. Tonight, we could expect gusts over 20 mph. Heading into tomorrow morning, winds will pick up exceeding 30 mph.
This trend will continue into the afternoon hours as a cold frontal passage advances through driving our next batch of snowfall.
Late Wednesday afternoon and into early morning Thursday, we could see some accumulating snow as well as hazardous travel conditions due to the breezy conditions.
Make sure you are staying weather aware when heading outside and we will continue to track the snow throughout the day today.
