First Snowfall of the Season Hits Midwest and Northeast

A weather system is expected to bring a brief burst of wet snow to parts of Lower Michigan, particularly in the southwest and northern inland areas, late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Despite warm ground and air temperatures slightly above freezing, cold upper-air may allow snow to accumulate 1-4 inches on grassy surfaces, with potential slush on roads. The snow is expected to melt quickly by Thursday evening, but drivers should be cautious of slick conditions during the snowfall.
