Mid-Michigan Braces for Accumulating Winter Weather on Thursday

Mid-Michigan is expected to experience wet accumulating snow on Thursday, potentially causing snow-covered roads during the morning commute. The amount of snowfall will depend on the rain-snow line, with some areas possibly receiving up to 4 inches of snow. The storm track is uncertain, with models showing differing tracks, but the region should expect a quick-moving system with wet and heavy snow. Cleanup is expected to be efficient due to rising temperatures on Thursday afternoon, but wet roadways may freeze and turn slippery as temperatures drop below freezing in the evening. The low pressure system, known as a Colorado Low, is expected to bring accumulating snow by drawing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and tapping into cold air from Canada.
