Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula remain under Winer Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories all day today. Northern Lower Michigan will see up to a few additional inches with freezing drizzle mixing in as well. Across southern Lower Michigan, Winter Storm and Ice Storm headlines have expired. Temperatures will warm above freezing today across southern Lower Michigan before crashing back below 32 degrees after sunset. Fog south of I-94 will spread north across the southern half of Lower Michigan throughout the day.

Freezing rain and ice caused widespread electricity outages across a large swath of lower Michigan late Wednesday, Feb. 22. As of 11:25 p.m., DTE Energy and Consumers Energy were reporting a combined 495,000 customers without electricity. Both Jackson and Lenawee counties had about 58 percent of customers without service as of 11:25 p.m.Southeast Michigan also had significant outages.

A mid-week winter storm is approaching Metro Detroit and is expected to bring ice, rain, freezing rain and snow to the area on Wednesday and Thursday.

In the forecast radar graphics I am showing you, blue is snow, orange is sleet, purple is freezing rain, and green is rain. This model is the most aggressive solution in terms of keeping freezing rain going for Grand Rapids, Lansing, Jackson, and Detroit. If it is freezing rain, it will turn everything into a sheet of ice. It is going to be a soaker today, with many areas across southern Lower Michigan seeing over 1 inch of liquid. Overall, travel will be hazardous for everyone across Lower Michigan today and may become nearly impossible for areas that see persistent freezing rain.

The ice storm warning covers a strip of counties either side of I-94. Most of the rain could be freezing rain in ice storm area. Most areas in the ice storm warning will have this ice accumulation range. Our latest best model on temperature forecasting still shows a warm-up over the ice storm area, but only to 35 degrees to 40 degrees. The northern edge of the ice storm zone may have a hard time warming enough to totally melt off the ice accumulation.

UPDATE: Only 3 Michigan counties not under a winter weather warning; Worst is Ice Storm WarningAn ice storm warning has been issued for the stretch of counties along I-94 in southern Lower Michigan. The ice storm warned area is expecting the highest ice accumulation from freezing rain. The ice storm warning goes into effect at noon Wednesday and continues until 4:00 a.m. Thursday. The following counties are in the ice storm warning: St. Clair, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Allegan, Barry, Eaton, Ingham, Calhoun, Jackson, Van Buren and Kalamazoo. The freezing rain will continue Wednesday evening with significant icing occurring before tapering off Wednesday night.

Freezing rain and ice accumulation is still the main concern for Michigan’s big cities along I-94 with the Wednesday-Thursday storm. I would call this a short-lived ice storm with a significant ice accumulation lasting from late Wednesday afternoon to maybe as late as Thursday morning. The longest a thick ice accumulation should last in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Jackson and Kalamazoo is 15 hours, but could be as short as 10 hours. Through Wednesday night, the precipitation will still be freezing rain, but temperatures warming above freezing will be inching northward for the area south of I-94. Eventually by sometime Thursday morning temperatures should warm at least into the mid-30s causing the ice accumulation to melt.

Wednesday’s potential storm is a very complex forecast because the type of precipitation depends heavily on surface temperatures and how far north the expansive warm front lifts and sets up shop.
