Michigan – Light snow begins to fall across Gaylord this morning, dusting roads and lowering visibility just as early travel ramps up.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, a period of snowfall overlaps the morning commute across northern Lower Michigan and eastern Upper Michigan. While totals stay light, reduced visibility and snow-covered roads will create winter driving conditions at times.
Temperatures sit near 15°F with wind chills dropping into the single digits. Roads may quickly turn slick, especially along US-131, M-32, and rural stretches where pavement cools faster. Slow down and allow extra stopping distance.
Snow tapers by late morning, with highs climbing to around 38°F. Conditions improve slightly through the afternoon, though wet patches may linger on untreated roads.
A gradual warm-up follows. Wednesday brings highs near 45°F with mostly cloudy skies, signaling a brief break from wintry conditions.
Attention shifts again by Thursday. Rain develops by late morning, then mixes with snow into the evening as temperatures hover in the mid-40s before falling. Conditions may deteriorate quickly after sunset, with slushy roads and reduced traction likely.
Colder air settles in by Friday, dropping highs into the upper 20s with lingering clouds. This back-and-forth pattern reflects a broader system pushing across the Midwest, bringing sharp swings and mixed precipitation.
