Michigan, Gaylord – Light snowflakes mix with misty rain this morning, creating slick patches on untreated roads and low visibility across northern Michigan right now.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, a wintry mix will continue through midday, with light snow transitioning to rain as temperatures climb toward 41°F. Minor snow accumulation is expected across eastern Upper Michigan, while northern Lower Michigan, including Gaylord, sees a mix that limits totals but increases slushy road conditions.
Drivers along M-32, I-75, and US-131 should watch for changing road conditions through late morning. Patchy fog before midday may reduce visibility below a mile at times. Plan extra travel time and keep headlights on.
By afternoon, temperatures hover just above freezing, allowing snow to melt into wet pavement. That creates a setup for flash freezing later as temperatures fall back toward 30°F tonight. Bridges and overpasses will freeze first. Avoid unnecessary travel after dark if surfaces refreeze.
Sunday stays cold with a high near 32°F and another round of light rain and snow possible. Conditions remain mostly cloudy, with brief slick spots lingering.
Monday brings some relief with sunshine and highs near 30°F, though mornings stay bitter. By Tuesday, another chance of snow returns with highs near 38°F, keeping roads potentially slippery again.
Looking ahead, gradual warming continues later next week, but for now, winter hazards still linger across northern Michigan.
