Gaylord, MI – Northern Michigan residents should prepare for a mix of snow and rain early next week, as changing conditions could create hazardous travel. Slippery roads and reduced visibility are expected, especially on highways like US-2.
According to the National Weather Service, snow showers will begin Sunday night, continuing into Monday. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, leading to drifting snow in open areas. By Monday afternoon, temperatures may rise enough to cause a rain-snow mix, making road conditions even more unpredictable.
Lows will dip into the teens overnight, while daytime highs will reach the upper 30s. The mix of freezing and thawing could create black ice, particularly on bridges and overpasses. If traveling, plan extra time and check for road updates before heading out.
Beyond Monday, snow showers are likely to persist into Tuesday, with temperatures remaining just above freezing. No major storms are forecast, but minor accumulations could still impact driving conditions.
Residents should stay updated on the latest forecasts and prepare for slick roads through the early part of the week. Stay cautious and drive safely as winter weather lingers in northern Michigan.
