After our weekend snow event, any flurries still lingering early today were expected to taper off by this evening.

But then our warming trend arrives. We’ll see our temperatures gradually creeping up as we head from Wednesday toward the weekend. By Saturday, some areas in West Michigan and southern Michigan could hit 60 degrees.

Here are the forecast highlights from the National Weather Service offices across the state:

Light rain and snow showers are moving across Michigan today with minimal impact expected. Temperatures will remain in the 30s to low 40s with breezy conditions making it feel colder.

In Northern Michigan, precipitation will begin as a mix of rain and snow this morning, with higher terrain areas seeing more snow while coastal and lower elevations experience primarily rain. Winds will be breezy, gusting 25 to 30 mph, especially near Lake Michigan, creating wind chills in the 20s. The Upper Peninsula will see light rain or snow showers by afternoon, mainly east of Munising.

For central and southern Michigan, lake effect snow is rapidly diminishing this morning. Grand Rapids and surrounding areas will see only a chance of light snow today, mainly north of M-46, with precipitation ending this evening. Southeast Michigan has a slight chance of light snow or rain with temperatures climbing into the mid-30s.

Weather officials warn that melting snow during daytime hours will refreeze overnight, potentially creating icy or black ice conditions on roadways for Wednesday and Thursday morning commutes, especially in the Upper Peninsula. Northwest winds near 40 mph are possible near Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw Peninsula on Wednesday.

A gradual warming trend begins Wednesday with temperatures moderating into the 40s across most of the state. By Friday, high temperatures will reach the upper 40s to low 50s as high pressure takes hold with lighter winds and quieter weather.

The weekend looks significantly warmer with temperatures climbing into the 50s and potentially reaching the low 60s in southern Michigan by Sunday. Another round of precipitation is expected Saturday into Sunday, though there remains uncertainty about the exact timing and track of this system.

Marine interests should note that a Gale Warning is in effect for much of Lake Superior through Wednesday, with potential for winds of 34-40 knots. Small Craft Advisories are posted for portions of Lakes Michigan and Huron through Wednesday evening.

Many Michigan residents woke up to their first hint of winter Sunday.

Dropping temperatures led to the first snowfall in many areas of the state, with most residents seeing an inch or 2 of fresh powder.

Detroit Metro Airport recorded 1.2″ of snow in a 12-hour period, according to the National Weather Service in Detroit. Adrian showed a 24-hour total of 2″ from Saturday into Sunday. Freeland received the most snow in the southern half of the state, racking up 6″ in 19 hours.

Winter weather advisories remained in effect in the state Sunday night.

The counties of Bay, Saginaw and Tuscola had an advisory in effect, warning of lake-effect snow. Snow accumulations between 1-3″ were possible, with some areas possibly seeing higher amounts.

St. Clair and Macomb Counties, including the cities of Port Huron and Warren, had a winter weather advisory in effect through 4 a.m. Monday. Total snow accumulations between 2-4″ were possible.

“Lake effect snowfall will continue across the area this afternoon and evening, with the heaviest snow focused across the Tri-Cities region and the eastern Thumb into northern Metro Detroit,” the National Weather Service website said.
