Gaylord, MI – Rain will transition to snow across northern Michigan tonight, leading to potential travel hazards on slippery roads. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns that this weather change will primarily affect the interior terrain of northern Lower Michigan, including the northeast.
According to the NWS, rain will shift to snow as early as this afternoon in some areas, creating wet and slushy conditions. The snowfall could bring accumulations of two to four inches in localized regions by Monday morning. Temperatures dropping overnight will heighten the likelihood of slippery roads, especially in low-lying and untreated areas.
The NWS forecast highlights that wind gusts of up to 30 mph are possible during this weather event, further complicating travel. Hazardous road conditions may extend into Monday morning, particularly for commuters in affected areas. Drivers should exercise caution and prepare for delays as snow-covered roads reduce visibility and traction.
The rain-to-snow transition will likely conclude by Monday afternoon. However, lingering wet snow could continue to impact travel until road crews address affected routes. Travelers should monitor updates from local weather services and allow extra time for trips.
Residents in northern Michigan are encouraged to keep an emergency kit in their vehicles and plan alternative routes if necessary. Staying informed through local alerts and weather forecasts can help reduce travel risks during this winter storm.
