Michigan starts the morning with a sharp 24-degree chill and a pale winter sun rising over Grand Rapids. Frost coats rooftops, and untreated sidewalks feel slick underfoot as calm air keeps the cold locked in place.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, skies turn partly sunny today with highs near 41 degrees and light winds. Roads should remain dry through the afternoon, but temperatures fall back to around 28 degrees tonight under mostly cloudy skies.
That drop below freezing could refreeze any leftover moisture on bridges along I-196 and US-131. This is peak flash-freeze season across western Michigan. If you’re out early Sunday, watch for isolated icy patches.
Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 43 degrees. Sunday night slips back to 28 with partly cloudy conditions. President’s Day offers a modest warm-up, reaching 47 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.
Clouds increase Tuesday with highs near 48. Showers develop Tuesday night with lows around 41. Rain becomes likely Wednesday, pushing highs to 52 degrees. Wet pavement and reduced visibility could impact the midweek commute.
Colder air edges back in late week. A rain-to-snow mix is possible Thursday night into Friday as highs fall into the 30s. Accumulation looks light for now, but February can still flip quickly in Michigan.
Long-range trends point toward above-average temperatures into late week, hinting at early spring vibes across the region. Are you noticing slick spots or dry roads in your neighborhood this morning?
