Patchy freezing drizzle/rain possible tonight between midnight and 8am.
Two potential icy weather events may impact northern Michigan through Saturday morning. There will be a weaker system tonight, with a more significant system on Friday night. The primary impacts will be hazardous travel with slick roads.
Tonight:
*Patchy freezing drizzle possible between midnight and 8 am across all of northern Michigan
*Very light precipitation amounts - but some slick roads possible.
Friday night into early Saturday:
*A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain developing from south to north across northern Michigan during the evening.
*Any snow or sleet will quickly transition to rain and freezing rain over northern lower Michigan during the evening. Little snow accumulation expected.
*Precipitation may remain snow and/or sleet much of the night over eastern upper Michigan. Snow accumulations up to 3 inches possible (especially I-75 westward).
*Temperatures will climb above freezing across northern lower Michigan during the overnight hours transitioning the precipitation to just rain. It may take much of the night for some interior parts of northern Michigan to get above freezing.
*Freezing rain will create very slick and hazardous driving conditions. Even as temperatures climb above freezing, rain on snow covered side roads will result in very slick conditions.
*Cooler air will begin to filter back into the area on Saturday, transitioning the light rain back to light snow. Light snow accumulations are possible.
*Temperatures falling below freezing by Saturday afternoon or early evening.
