Winter storm headed for Michigan could bring up to 8 inches of snow
A winter storm is predicted to hit several parts of a state, bringing up to 8 inches of snow, possible power outages, and freezing temperatures. The storm watch was issued for areas including Bay, Midland, and Saginaw counties, as well as communities near Flint and the Thumb region, where snow accumulations may exceed 6 inches. “Very strong westerly winds” could produce gusts up to 45-50 mph, with wind chill values expected to drop into the single digits, and go below zero on Sunday. According to the National Weather Service, the storm will likely produce heavy snow and strong winds. Conditions may worsen due to whiteout conditions from significant blowing and drifting snow in open areas, and scattered power outages could occur.
