Michigan – Intense lake-effect snow continues today as snow bands pivot across the state, creating hazardous travel conditions on I-94 and other major routes. The National Weather Service predicts shifting winds will redirect snow bands, easing snowfall in some areas by Tuesday.
According to NOAA, this shift is caused by a trough over the Great Lakes, pushing snow bands into a more northwesterly flow. While snowfall will diminish midweek as a ridge moves through the region, dangerous conditions remain through Tuesday. Accumulations of up to 12 inches are possible in localized areas, with high winds reducing visibility.
The brief reprieve in snowfall will last into Wednesday, but forecasters warn that a new system may bring additional lake-effect snow by Thursday. Residents should prepare for renewed hazardous conditions, particularly in western Michigan and along major routes like I-94 and M-28.
Drivers are urged to avoid unnecessary travel during peak snowfall hours and prepare emergency kits in case of delays. Winds will persist into Tuesday, causing blowing and drifting snow that could create whiteout conditions. Those traveling near the Great Lakes should monitor updates at weather.gov and check local advisories.
Looking ahead, temperatures will stay below freezing, with highs in the 20s and wind chills making it feel even colder. Snow showers are expected to return late Thursday into Friday, prolonging winter hazards for affected areas.
Stay informed with up-to-date forecasts and prepare accordingly for potential disruptions through the week.
