Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Michigan! Here’s your full holiday forecast:
Okay, now that's it. Have an amazing day and an amazing Thanksgiving!
As we kick off this Thanksgiving morning, lake-effect snow is continuing to organize into a couple of strong, persistent bands across both peninsulas. This setup means snowfall totals will vary a lot depending on where those bands settle. Some areas may scrape by with an inch or less, while others could get hammered with a half-foot or more. The true jackpot zones may see over 12 inches of fresh snow by late tonight or early Friday.
Temperatures today will hover right around freezing across much of the Lower Peninsula, with a few spots in the east briefly pushing into the upper 30s, but 40s aren’t likely. Meanwhile, the Upper Peninsula stays locked into the mid-20s, reinforcing that classic early-winter chill.
Lows tonight will dip into the 20s statewide, with some colder pockets slipping even lower. Along the immediate lakeshore, the microclimate may allow pockets of light freezing drizzle to mix in, just enough to make untreated roads slick.
Holiday travel will be heavy across the region, and it won’t take much snow or reduced visibility to cause delays and headaches. Plan extra time if you’re hitting the road, and keep an eye out for rapidly changing conditions. Strong northwest winds will continue into the afternoon, with gusts over 40 mph possible before easing later tonight. These winds may contribute to scattered power outages, especially in areas with heavier snow.
That's it for today! Wait.. also.. theres NO severe weather threat.
