Snowstorms And Thunderstorms Possible Across MI Thursday

Two very different weather systems will play out across Michigan on Thursday.

Another storm is expected to bring more snow and ice to parts across the Upper Peninsula, according to the National Weather Service.

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Marquette, Alger, northern Schoolcraft and Luce counties from 10 p.m. Thursday through 7 p.m. Friday.

Forecasters said those areas could see between 2 and 5 inches of fresh snow, along with ice accumulations up to two-tenths of an inch.

Rain is expected across most of lower Michigan, including southern Michigan where highs could reach the 50s Thursday, the weather service said.

Isolated thunderstorms are also possible across southern Michigan, with most areas under a marginal risk for severe weather between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. Thursday.

Temperatures across southern Michigan will hover in the 40s through Saturday before dropping back into the 30s with more snow chances on Sunday, the weather service said.
