Gaylord, MI – A winter weather advisory remains in effect across portions of northern Lower Michigan through noon Tuesday. Lake effect snow is expected to bring 1 to 4 inches of accumulation, with heavier amounts possible in some areas.

According to the National Weather Service, whiteout conditions are likely, particularly within snow bands. Visibility could drop suddenly, creating hazardous travel conditions, especially during Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Impacted areas include Emmet, Cheboygan, Leelanau, Otsego, Benzie, Manistee, and Charlevoix counties.

Travelers are advised to drive cautiously and prepare for rapidly changing weather and road conditions. Visibility may vary significantly within short distances, making it essential to slow down and remain vigilant.

The advisory underscores the unpredictable nature of lake effect snow, where some areas may see heavy snowfall while nearby locations remain dry. Drivers should monitor road conditions and allow extra time for travel.

The advisory is expected to expire by noon Tuesday, but residents should stay updated on weather developments as conditions evolve.
