Michigan – A dim, steel-gray dawn settles over the hills around Gaylord, with scattered flakes drifting under quiet streetlights and dusting the tops of frozen pines. The air feels brisk and sharp, hinting at a Winter Tease taking shape just as early Thanksgiving travel begins across northern Michigan.
According to the National Weather Service Gaylord office, scattered snow showers linger early, especially west of I-75. Temperatures climb only into the mid-30s today, and northwest winds keep a biting chill across open fields. Drivers should plan for brief bursts of reduced visibility and light snow coatings on bridges through the morning.
According to forecasters, snow showers continue at times today but taper by afternoon. Accumulation stays minimal, though a quick half-inch could develop in heavier pockets. Residents should leave extra room between vehicles and monitor changing road textures on rural stretches that cool fastest.
According to early guidance, Tuesday brings a quieter setup with partly sunny skies and a high near 37. Winds shift north and ease, but colder air around dawn may create isolated slick spots where snowpack persists. This marks another early sign of a more active November pattern likely to strengthen heading into Thanksgiving week.
According to longer-range signals, Wednesday turns mostly sunny and calmer. Thursday introduces a chance of rain as temperatures moderate into the low 40s—still cool but warm enough to limit snow risk. Friday may feature another round of rain before a drier, milder weekend returns, offering good windows for leaf cleanup, early Christmas decorating, or flexible holiday travel across Otsego County.
