Gaylord, MI – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Antrim and Kalkaska counties, with accumulating snow expected to create hazardous road conditions through early Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, the advisory continues until 5 a.m. EDT Tuesday. Antrim County may see up to 3 inches of snow overnight, while Kalkaska County is expected to receive up to 2 inches.
The snowfall is likely to make roads slick, especially during the early morning commute. Drivers in both counties should plan for slower travel times and reduced visibility. Roadways most at risk include local routes and rural areas where plowing may be delayed.
Residents are advised to reduce speed, leave extra distance between vehicles, and use headlights when visibility drops. While snowfall amounts are moderate, even small accumulations can create dangerous driving conditions during colder overnight temperatures.
This weather advisory highlights a pattern of late-season snow events in northern Michigan, which often see winter conditions linger into April. No school delays have been reported as of Monday night, but local officials recommend monitoring district alerts in the morning.
Travelers should continue checking with MDOT and local updates for real-time road conditions.
