Clipper system aims toward northern Michigan. How much will it snow this weekend?

A winter storm is expected to hit Michigan this weekend, bringing heavy snow, rain, and potentially dangerous road conditions.
Areas from the Mackinac Straits to Sault Ste. Marie could see the most snow, with accumulations of 6-10 inches possible.
West Michigan, Lansing, and Detroit are expected to see a mix of rain and snow, with less accumulation than northern areas.

While it’s been warm this week and snow and ice have been melting, don’t put your shovel away just yet — Michigan winter is bringing another snowstorm this weekend.

Portions of northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula will be coated in snow this weekend. The National Weather Service is predicting a mix of snow and rain in some areas, and warning of dangerous road conditions amid heavy, blowing snow and low visibility to the north.

Areas from the Mackinac Straits to Sault Ste. Marie could see 6-10 inches of snow this weekend, the Gaylord NWS office said.

“A clipper system moving across the Great Lakes region this Friday will deliver widespread accumulating snowfall mainly north of M-32,” the Gaylord NWS said on X.

Here’s what the NWS is saying about the forecast.

How much will it snow in northern Michigan?

Northern Michigan is expected to get a mix of snow and rain Thursday and snow Friday as a clipper system moves in from Canada, the NWS Gaylord office said.

A winter storm watch for some areas is set for 3 a.m. Friday until 1 a.m. Saturday. Snowfall between 5-10 inches and up to 30-mph wind gusts will make roads hazardous, with low visibility, the NWS said.

Snow accumulation could reach 6 inches or more Thursday night into Friday night in the Mackinac Straits area and north, the weather service says. Expect less snowfall in the regions farther south. Highs could be in the teens, 20s and 30s across the area. Lows are set for the 20s and teens overnights.

The heaviest accumulation is expected to be from north of Harbor Springs across northern Michigan toward Rogers City with 6-8 inches possible.

How much will it snow in the Upper Peninsula?

The Marquette area will see snow Thursday and a mix of freezing rain. A storm will bring moderate to heavy snow in the northern and eastern Upper Peninsula Friday, the Marquette NWS office said. Expect highs in the up to the low 40s, dropping to 20s, teens and single digits overnights.

“A storm system could bring in moderate/heavy snow over northern and eastern portions of the U.P. late (Thursday) into Fri,” the weather service said.

The National Weather Service’s snowfall prediction website shows a wide swath of the Upper Peninsula — particularly from Munising east to Sault Ste. Marie, could see 10 inches of snow this weekend. Some areas inland from Munising could see nearly 11 inches.

Areas near Negaunee and Ishpeming also could see nearly 11 inches, the NWS said.

In Sault Ste. Marie, there is a winter storm watch, with a forecast for a mix of rain and snow Thursday, to be followed by heavy snow and blowing snow Friday, the NWS Gaylord office said. Snow accumulation could be up to 9 inches this weekend.

Will it snow in west Michigan?

West Michigan could see a mix of rain and snow Thursday and Friday, the Grand Rapids NWS office said. Expect highs in the reaching the 40s before a cooling trend, with overnight lows in the 20s and teens. Conditions are set to be dry with sun and clouds this weekend.

“Windy conditions and a chance of rain and snow are expected through Saturday morning. We then cool down for the weekend before warming up early next week. Rain then returns to the forecast for Tuesday,” the NWS said.

Will it snow in Lansing?

The Lansing area is expected to see rain Thursday, and a mix of snow and rain Friday, the Grand Rapids NWS office said.

Conditions should be dry with a mix of sun and clouds this weekend. Expect highs in the 20s, 30s and 40s dropping to the 20s and teens overnights.

Will it snow in Detroit this weekend?

Detroit is set for a mix of rain and snow Thursday, followed by dry, cloudy skies over the weekend, the NWS office in White Lake said.

“Localized pockets that see higher precipitation rates will experience mainly snow, with minor accumulations possible,” the weather service said.

Highs will reach the low 50s Friday before dropping back down to the 20s and 30s over the weekend. Overnight lows could be in the 20s and teens.

Will it snow in Port Huron and the thumb?

Port Huron is set for snow and a mix of rain and snow Thursday and Friday, the Detroit/Pontiac NWS office said. The weekend will see dry conditions with sun and clouds. Thursday could see about half an inch of snow accumulation.

Expect highs to reach the 40s before dropping, and 20s and teens overnight this weekend.

In Port Austin in the thumb, Thursday and Friday will see a mix of rain and snow, the Detroit/Pontiac NWS office said.

Snow accumulation could be around 2 inches Friday. Expect highs in the up to the 40s, dropping to the 20s and teens overnights. The weekend will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds.

Will it snow in southwest Michigan?

In southwest Michigan, including Sturgis and Coldwater, Thursday could see rain or rain, and snow overnight, and Friday night will bring a chance of snow, the Northern Indiana NWS office said.

The region will be dry otherwise with a mix of sun and clouds this weekend. Expect highs reaching the low 50s Friday. Lows will drop to the 20s and teens overnights.

Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder to enter NFL Draft

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.

Michigan basketball isn’t invincible, and its first loss shows why

Michigan basketball isn’t invincible, and its first loss shows why

Michigan basketball’s first loss of the 2025-26 season – a 91-88 thriller on Saturday, Jan. 10 – was likely a surprise to most.

But U-M players and and coaches saw the seeds planted for the result over the past two weeks, with four consecutive games without the Wolverines feeling like they’d played up to their standard.

“The right team won,” Dusty May said after his team’s first loss.

Michigan led by 14 with 7:38 left in the first half, but let Wisconsin back into the game with a 20-7 run going into halftime. The run included three 3-pointers, part of the Badgers’ season-high 15 3s.

“Give Wisconsin credit,” May continued. “They came in here, took a punch early, they responded and went in at halftime with positive momentum. They came out in the second half and knocked us on our heels a little bit.

“They made plays; our plan, our coaching, our playing wasn’t up to our standard.”

It was similar to U-M’s game earlier in the week, when the Wolverines allowed Penn State to go on a 12-0 second-half run before escaping with a 74-72 victory in Happy Valley.

At Crisler Center, however, the bill came due for the Wolverines not going hard in practice – where U-M had done the work behind its 14-0 start to the season.

“To be honest, the only thing I’m disappointed in is when we started playing, competing at a high level, it looked different,” May said. “We can’t be a team, with what we’re playing for, that has two different levels of intensity.

“That’s what happened … but I don’t want to take anything away from Wisconsin. They came in here, they took it.”

‘They exposed some things’

One of Michigan’s few flaws is in dealing with stretch bigs. That’s especially apparent now after freshman Aleksas Bieliauskas drilled five 3-pointers, including four in less than three minutes of the second half.

Aday Mara is a fantastic rim protector, but he’s not built to move out to the arc; when bigs who can shoot are able to pull him away from the basket, it’s a problem.

“We changed our coverages, changed our personnel, we didn’t do a good enough job,” May said. “We worked three days on that. … We knew it was coming, you know it’s coming … When they make the first couple, there’s such an overreaction.

“They exposed some things with our plan and our team that we thought were going to be issues this year,”

The Wolverines began sticking the Badgers harder on the perimeter, fighting over screens instead of going under them. The change slowed Wisconsin’s 3-point shooting – the Badgers closed the game at just 3-for-10 beyond the arc after making 12 of their first 23 – but it also allowed more dribble-drive penetration, mostly by Nick Boyd.

He scored 22 against U-M and May, his coach at Florida Atlantic. That was second only to Wisconsin’s John Blackwell, who had 26 points – the third double-digit scoring game in four tries by the Birmingham Brother Rice alumnus against the school that passed on him.

“They did a good job of exploiting the mismatches and finding a way to get open,” said Nimari Burnett, who scored 10. “Something we’ll look at in film –we can take this lesson and apply it to other games.”

‘Processes have to improve’

Michigan solid on offense, at least, topping 80 points for the 13th time in 15 games.

Elliot Cadeau – who sat much of the first half in foul trouble – frequently thrived in one-on-one situations en route to 19 points, his second-best total this season. Morez Johnson Jr. missed just one shot and finished with 18 points.

But for the fourth game in a row, U-M shot under 33% on 3s, going 8-for-25 (32%) against Wisconsin.

“We’ve got to find some solutions to get better shots,” May said.

Shooting comes and goes, as May and Co. have tried to point out. Effort should not, though.

But on Saturday, Wisconsin got more second-chance points (15-8) and was virtually even in rebounding – U-M finished with a 32-30 edge, but Wisconsin prevailed, 15-11, in the second half.

Michigan won its first 14 games of the season in large part because of superior talent. While that’s a prerequisite for a deep March run, the grind behind the scenes is every bit as important.

Of Michigan’s three days of prep from Tuesday-Saturday, Cadeau and May said, only one was acceptable.

“Our processes have to improve, our practice habits, our day-to-day habits have to be at a championship level,” May said. “Or we’re simply going to rely on the other team not playing up to their standard, or our talent. That’s not a real healthy way to get through the Big Ten season.”

The Penn State win offered solace that when the going got tough, the Wolverines would find a way. Faltering against Wisconsin wiped away that illusion.

Michigan’s goals – a Big Ten title, a March Madness run – are all still attainable. But only if U-M feels this sting and plays with the same desire opponents are now bringing against the Wolverines, night in and night out.

Even in practice.

“It’s like a smack in our face,” Burnett said. “No team is going to go undefeated – obviously, we hoped to do it – but like I said, just need to learn from it.”
