MID-MICHIGAN — Early this morning a weaker clipper system is moving over the U.P. and will bring some lake enhanced light showers or flurries. Accumulations will remain light and scattered, if any. Otherwise, the rest of today will be dry with increasing cloud cover and breezy winds. FOX 47 Meteorologists are tracking a larger storm Wednesday and Thursday. It looks to be a longer duration event with significant ice possible across our southern counties, along with snow, freezing rain, and strong wind gusts. A WINTER STORM WATCH as been issued across West Michigan starting Tuesday evening for our far north communities and starting Wednesday afternoon for those around the I-96 and I-94 areas all wrapping up Thursday. Keep updated with the latest changes HERE. The system looks to begin as mostly snow overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday and transition into wintry mix by early Wednesday afternoon moving inn from south to north. Some areas will see freezing rain and light snow, others will see mostly snow and some sleet. This system looks to have an impact to travel, as well as the possibility of power outages. Conditions looks to improve slightly Thursday as we will have a bit of dry time as temperatures look to climb above freezing, but they will crash Thursday night back into the teens, making for more slipper conditions possible Friday morning with lake effect snow. Make sure to stay up on later forecasts!
