Upper Peninsula, MI – Drivers across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula should prepare for slick and hazardous travel conditions tonight, as lake-effect snow continues and a more widespread system moves in late Sunday into early Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, lake-effect snow will persist overnight, followed by widespread and impactful snowfall Sunday night into Monday morning. Forecasters say some areas could receive four inches or more of snow, with the highest totals likely in the eastern Upper Peninsula.
The heaviest snow is expected between late Sunday evening and early Monday morning, roughly from 10 p.m. through 7 a.m., creating difficult conditions for overnight drivers and early commuters. Snowfall may continue into early Monday afternoon before tapering off.
Weather officials note a medium to high probability (40–70%+) of 4-inch snow totals in several areas, including parts of Chippewa, Mackinac, and Luce counties, as well as surrounding regions. Lighter totals are expected farther south and west, though slippery roads remain possible across much of northern Michigan.
Impacts include snow-covered roads, reduced visibility, and hazardous travel, especially during peak commute hours Monday morning. Motorists are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time, and keep emergency supplies in their vehicles.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and local advisories, as snow totals and impacts may shift depending on wind direction and snowfall intensity overnight.
