Gaylord, MI – A weekend winter storm is set to blanket Michigan with heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and gusty winds, causing hazardous conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, snow showers will intensify Saturday night, with accumulation likely exceeding three inches. Gusts of up to 30 mph are expected to create blowing snow and reduced visibility, especially along rural highways such as M-32.

The snow will ease by Sunday afternoon but leave roads icy and dangerous. Highs will remain in the low to mid-20s through the weekend, with lows dipping into the single digits. Sunday night may bring additional snow showers, with freezing conditions persisting into Monday.
Friday night and early Saturday will see light, scattered snow showers, but conditions will worsen by Saturday evening. If travel is unavoidable, motorists should drive slowly and allow extra time. Local agencies are urging residents to monitor weather alerts and plan ahead.
Looking ahead, snow showers are likely to continue into Monday, and subfreezing temperatures will maintain slick conditions on local roads. Prepare now for a snowy and cold weekend across Michigan.
