A winter storm is expected to hit western Lower Michigan tonight, causing perilous driving conditions.
A cold front moving from Wisconsin is predicted to bring severe snow squalls and strong gusts, creating whiteouts along the way.
With frigid temperatures descending into the 20s, ice roadways are anticipated to exacerbate travel concerns.
Lake-effect snow bands, aided by Lake Michigan’s heat and moisture, could dump up to 10 inches in certain regions by Thursday night, especially where snowfall lasts the longest. The Winter Storm Warning remains in effect.
The storm will subside by Friday, with good weather returning over the weekend. However, a thaw with rain is forecast early next week, followed by cooler weather and possible midweek snow showers. Stay prepared!
