Don’t put away those snow shovels just yet! A fresh round of snowfall is heading for Michigan this weekend, with some areas expected to see up to 4 inches of accumulation. From slick roads to reduced visibility, winter weather is back, and it could disrupt your weekend plans.
Here’s What’s Coming:
- Saturday, February 1: Light snow will begin across central and northern Lower Michigan, with a steady accumulation throughout the day.
- Sunday, February 2: The snowfall will continue, adding to totals and potentially making travel difficult in affected areas. By Sunday night, some regions could see up to 4 inches of snow on the ground.
Key Areas Affected:
Central and northern parts of Lower Michigan will bear the brunt of the storm, but scattered flurries may also hit southern regions, creating slippery surfaces and icy spots.
Travel Impact:
- Snow-covered roads and reduced visibility will create dangerous driving conditions.
- If you’re planning to travel, allow extra time and drive cautiously.
- Road crews are expected to be out, but localized accumulation could cause temporary hazards.
Cold Temperatures:
With temperatures hovering around freezing, expect icy patches on sidewalks and roads. The cold air will make conditions feel even chillier, so bundle up if you’re heading outdoors.
Prepare Now:
- Stock up on winter essentials in case travel becomes hazardous.
- Ensure vehicles are winter-ready with emergency kits and proper tires.
- Stay tuned to weather alerts for updates.
Looking Ahead:
February is expected to bring more above-average precipitation, so this weekend’s snowfall may be just the start of a wintry month. Stay prepared and plan accordingly.
