Gaylord, MI – Northern Michigan will see continued snowfall Wednesday as frigid temperatures persist, prompting concerns about travel safety and potential flooding.
According to the National Weather Service, snow showers will continue overnight into Wednesday, with wind chills dropping as low as -7°F. Light snow will taper off in the afternoon before another round of flurries arrives Wednesday night. Road conditions could remain hazardous, particularly on I-75 and M-32, as gusty winds create blowing and drifting snow.
A warming trend is expected by the weekend, potentially increasing flood risks in areas already dealing with heavy snowfall. Residents should monitor local advisories and prepare for slick roads, freezing temperatures, and potential flooding in low-lying areas.
The extended forecast shows mostly cloudy skies Thursday, with highs reaching 18°F. Another chance of snow showers returns Friday before temperatures climb into the mid-20s this weekend. The brief warm-up may provide some relief, but with the accumulated snowpack, residents should remain vigilant for rapid melting and ice-related hazards.
Stay updated with weather alerts and travel advisories to ensure safety through the midweek and upcoming warming trend.
