Special Weather Statement issued November 20 at 3:16PM EST by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Wed November 20, 2024, 3:16 PM
Expires: Thu November 21, 2024, 6:00 AM

Ongoing rainfall across northern lower Michigan is expected to mix with and eventually flip to a wet, sloppy snow through the evening into the overnight hours, favoring areas away from the immediate Great Lakes shorelines of northern lower Michigan. Snow will likely struggle to stick to surfaces initially before temperatures fall to near 32 degrees later tonight, which may allow any ongoing snow to stick. A general 1 to 3 inches of accumulation will be possible, particularly across the higher terrain of north central lower Michigan. As a result, roads may become slushy and slippery for the morning commute on Thursday. Extra time may be required for the commute, and remember to take it slow in ice and snow!

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
