LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Extreme Cold Warnings and Cold Weather Advisories will remain in effect across Mid-Michigan until 11 a.m. Saturday. We have mostly clear conditions in the forecast for tonight, which will allow temperatures to fall to -12 degrees, with wind chills potentially as cold as -20 to -30 in some locations.
Saturday afternoon, wind chill temperatures will briefly warm up a few degrees above or below zero. This “warm-up” will be short-lived, as we have more sub-zero wind chills in the forecast for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. High temperatures will remain chilly throughout next week, only rising into the mid-teens.
Our StormTracker 6 Team is also monitoring a system currently developing to our south, which will bring the chance for accumulating snow to Mid-Michigan for part of the weekend.
While the biggest impacts from this system are expected south of the state, southeastern sections of Mid-Michigan are still forecasted to get around 3-5 inches of snow, including those in Lenawee, Washtenaw, and Hillsdale Counties. The current forecast for the Lansing area is around 1-3 inches.
Snow is expected to move into the region around 7 or 8 o’clock Sunday morning, and continue throughout the day.
Dry weather returns to the forecast for Monday, with an additional round of snow possible on Tuesday.
Our StormTracker 6 Team will continue to monitor the track of this next system and provide updates on snowfall totals on-air, online, and through the StormTracker 6 App…
