Weekend Snowstorm Expected to Impact Lower Michigan

A storm system currently over the West Coast is projected to move into the central Plains on Friday and reach the Great Lakes region by Saturday into Sunday. This system is expected to bring steady snowfall to all of Lower Michigan, with accumulations ranging from four to eight inches.

The snowfall is anticipated to begin early Saturday and continue for approximately 18 hours, concluding by early Sunday afternoon. Areas north of Traverse City may see lighter accumulations of two to three inches.
