Michigan
It’s going to get cold. Here’s how cold it’s going to feel
What is the best way to prepare for wintertime power outages?
Winter weather can cause power outages due to ice, wind, and snow. You can’t prevent power outages, but you can prepare for them.
Weather officials warn Michigan residents of Arctic air that will cause temperatures to plunge statewide Thursday night, Dec. 4, into Friday morning, Dec. 5, and create dangerously cold wind chills of minus 10 degrees in some areas.
“Yet another cold front passage will bring some brutally cold low temperatures to portions of the Midwest this morning, and then into the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England Friday morning (Dec. 5),” the National Weather Service said on Dec. 4. “Low temperatures in the negative single digits and teens for the Midwest and single digits and teens for the northern Mid-Atlantic/New England may challenge several daily record low temperatures.”
In the Upper Peninsula, air temperatures will reach single digits and wind chill values (what the temperature “feels like”) will fall to the single digits and below zero.
In the Lower Peninsula, air temperatures also will fall to single digits in some areas. Wind chill values will be in the single digits to below zero.
“The coldest night of the season so far is ahead with lows near zero degrees Friday morning (Dec. 5),” the Northern Indiana NWS office said on X on Dec. 4. “Remember to protect the 4 P’s: People, pets, pipes, and plants. Check in on those who may be vulnerable to the cold. Expose indoor pipes to heated air and drip water if necessary.”
Weather officials say the cold plunge could result in records across Michigan this week.
In addition to the below freezing temperatures, the eastern UP remains under a winter storm warning and advisory for lake-effect snow expected to slow down Thursday afternoon, Dec. 4. So far, 3.5 inches of snow have accumulated today, Dec. 4, in Sault Ste Marie and 4.2 inches in Donaldson (south of Sault Ste. Marie), according to the NWS’s snowfall reports. Freezing spray warnings are in place for Lake Superior and gale warnings have been issued for the Great Lakes.

After debating whether to return for another season, Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder had decided to prepare for the NFL Draft.
Rolder, a second-team All-Big Ten selection, led the team in 2025 with 73 tackles, including seven tackles for loss and two sacks. He also had an interception.
“This journey has been anything but certain,” Rolder wrote in a social media post on Sunday announcing his decision. “There were highs, lows, doubts, growth, and moments that tested me — but every step shaped who I am today. … The ups and downs, the lessons, the brotherhood — I’m grateful for it all.”
Rolder is the second potential linebacker returner who has moved on. Michigan also this offseason lost linebacker Cole Sullivan, who entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 2, the day it opened, and is now at Oklahoma.
