Gaylord, Michigan – A midweek winter system could bring snow and ice to northern Michigan, potentially affecting travel and daily routines.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, the next weather system is expected to impact the state starting late Tuesday and continuing into early Wednesday. Forecasters said there remains uncertainty in the storm’s exact track, which could shift where snow, freezing rain, or mixed precipitation develops.
The agency’s latest outlook highlights accumulating snow and freezing rain as the primary hazards. While snowfall totals are not yet finalized, officials said mixed precipitation amounts are expected to remain light overall. However, parts of eastern Upper Michigan could see moderately impactful snow accumulations if the storm track trends north.
The heaviest precipitation is currently projected between early Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening. Areas farther south, including portions of lower Michigan, may see more rain, while northern sections could experience a wintry mix or primarily snow.
Forecasters emphasized that precipitation type and totals may change as the system approaches. Updated forecasts are expected in the coming days as confidence improves.
Midweek systems like this can affect school schedules and early morning commutes, particularly if freezing rain develops during peak travel hours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts from the National Weather Service and prepare for possible slick roads late Tuesday into Wednesday.
