Special Weather Statement
Steadiest snowfall has shifted east of I-75 across northern lower
and eastern upper Michigan. In the wake of the snowfall, areas of
freezing drizzle have begun to mix in west of I-75 in northern
lower Michigan and portions of eastern upper Michigan. This will
continue eastward toward the Lake Huron shores of northern lower
Michigan this evening, with freezing drizzle potential carrying
into the overnight hours until the next round of snow builds into
the region from the northwest between roughly 2:00am and 6:00am.
As such, a glaze of ice is possible on all untreated surfaces
through the evening into tonight. Be cognizant of weather
conditions if you must travel this evening into tonight, as
slippery surfaces may materialize on area roads, particularly on
bridges and overpasses. Remember to increase your following
distance in wintry weather, and to take it slow in ice and snow!
