LANSING, Mich. — Today, a low-pressure system will continue influencing our weather, but we will maintain mild conditions until tonight. The rain showers that have been widespread this morning will taper off by this afternoon, giving way to dry conditions with a high near 49°F. However, it will be windy with sustained winds of 13mph and gusts nearing 22mph.
Tuesday through Thursday: Significant changes arrive as a trough ushers in a much colder air mass. Tuesday's highs will drop to the upper 30s, falling further to a high of 31°F by Wednesday and only reaching 18°F by Thursday. The cold air flowing over Lake Michigan will intensify lake effect snow, which is expected to begin Wednesday and continue into Thursday morning. Increasing winds during this period will drive wind chill values to near 0°F, so prepare for frigid conditions and impacts to your Wednesday and Thursday commute.
Friday and Weekend: While conditions will dry out on Friday, lingering chances of light snow showers will remain through the weekend. Temperatures will stay below normal, with a gradual warming trend expected by Sunday, when highs should return to the upper 30s.
Stay safe and bundle up as the winter chill sets in later this week!
