LANSING, Mich. — Cloud cover developed overnight, bringing mostly cloudy skies for today. Fog and drizzle are likely to develop throughout the morning with snow quickly melting. While no significant flooding is expected, it is still a good practice to make sure storm drains are cleared of snow and ice, so melting water has a place to go. Take it easy while traveling, as well, as roads are expected to be slick and slushy at times. Our next system develops late overnight, initially bringing light sprinkles/drizzle. Widespread to scattered rain showers are possible tomorrow and early Saturday, becoming more isolated by late Saturday night. In combination of the warm temperatures and rain chances, there are concerns for ice jams on local rivers. Skies dry up for Sunday (New Year’s Day) and Monday with cloud cover hanging around. Another system bringing rain showers develops overnight Monday, lasting into Tuesday and early Wednesday. Based on extended outlooks, warmer-than-average temperatures are likely to hang around through the first week of January.
