LANSING, Mich. — Following a chilly start to the day with air temperatures in the single digits and wind chill temperatures below zero, we will shift our attention to our next weather maker. We are expecting to stay dry today with breaks in the clouds allowing our neighborhoods to see some sunshine. High temperatures will remain in the mid 20's today. Overnight lows look to warm a bit beginning tonight. We can expect our overnight hours to cool into the upper teens and then back into the 20's overnight Friday.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, snow showers will begin in our neighborhoods as early as 7 AM. This is due to a clipper system that is tracking through northern Michigan. We will continue to see widespread snow throughout the afternoon hours. Once the system has passed the Great Lakes region, we will continue to see some lake effect snow showers as we head into Saturday. Accumulations with this system do not look to be extreme. We can see an overall trend of 1.5-2.5" of snowfall by the time Saturday morning comes. This could still cause some slick travel throughout the day Friday and for the Friday evening commute. Make sure you are staying weather aware when heading outside.
We will dry up again for the rest of the day Saturday with renewed snow arriving on Sunday. The track of this clipper has shifted a bit more north since yesterday. Because of this, we could see lower than initially expected accumulations and a later start time for the snow to begin. Light snow could still begin in the later morning hours. However, as the clipper system progresses into the Upper Peninsula, snow looks to take a break heading into the Sunday afternoon hours. The snow is expected to pick back up later in the evening and overnight hours of Saturday in our neighborhoods. Lake effect snow is expected on the back end of this system as we start the new week.
We are still watching this end of weekend clipper system very carefully as we could still see some changes as we head through the weekend. We will continue to update you on the latest forecast changes.
