Get ready for round 13,342,537......lol

Lake effect snow showers continue or resume overnight with a northwest wind along Lake Michigan and Superior, January 28th, 2026.

Wednesday, most of our snow will be confined closer to the lakeshore. Gusty winds may create drifting snow across areas not being impacted by snow as well, so be cautious if that happens to you. Generally speaking, 1-3" is expected up and down the Lake Michigan shoreline, however we added a couple bullseyes of 2-5", just in case a few locations surpass the 3" mark. Kalkaska county has a tiny region of 4-8" too as totals here will likely get to at least 4" by Wednesday night. It may be close, but after today's spot-on 4-8" (some even overachieved) along and west of the US-131 corridor, we cannot rule out those higher totals. Into the UP, winter weather advisories are in effect for the two regions highlighted by 4-8" or 6-11" totals. Lake Superior is freezing over, but it does still have a lot of time left before it freezes completely. Alger and Luce counties are battling the heavy snow now. We would not be surprised if some locations around Grand Marais or Paradise exceed 11" in the next 24-28 hours. Over into the western UP, highest totals will be along the spine of the Keweenaw Peninsula/Porcupine Mountains, or north and west of M-26. Totals here will generally be around half a foot, but a few totals could reach 8", especially near Lake of the Clouds/Ontonagon.

Like Tuesday, Wednesday could see a couple instances of 1"+ make it to the east side of the state, but it will be a rare instance if anything. With a wind from the northwest, most bands will stay west of US-127. The trace-1" is more of a safety blanket for a day like tomorrow. Don't expect much if you're on the east side of the Lower Peninsula (keep expectations lower).

We are continuing to monitor the ice sheet forming on all the Great Lakes. As the ice forms, our fetch (length of lake available for moisture/clouds) becomes cut off. Keep yourselves tuned in here at Michigan Storm Chasers.

01/26/2026

Getting some rest, all our properties are cleaned up. Looks like we will be rolling again tomorrow. Stay warm everyone.

Lake effect snow continues today, stops, then resumes in intensity overnight into Tuesday, January 26th and 27th, 2026.

Discussion
Our west winds kick up to the 30-40 mph range later tonight. Prior to that happening, a northwest wind will batter some lake effect areas with an additional 1-3" this afternoon, with pockets of 4"+ possible. As we move into Tuesday, a widespread blanket of 2-5", with pockets of 4-8" will overtake the Lake Michigan shoreline, eastern UP, and Keweenaw Peninsula. Temperature difference between water and air, plus adequate lift will fuel lake effect all the way through Wednesday morning. Additionally, we have a clipper moving through on Tuesday that will bring isolated pockets of 1-3" to the east side. Most locations should still be beneath an inch, however, too many variables are in play to not mention it.

Travel will be impacted along and west of US-131, with minor travel impacts all the way over to the US-127 corridor (I-75 north of Grayling). The clipper will be swinging through with the initial push of gusty winds after midnight tonight through 10 am Tuesday morning. Again, this will be for totals starting at noon today, and lasting through 8 am EST Wednesday, with most of the snow falling throughout the entire day Tuesday.

Yes, this is our last call snowfall forecast for the incoming winter storm that will meander through the southern half of the Lower Peninsula starting very late tonight, and lasting through early Monday morning. That 30 hour period will be from late January 24th through early January 26th, 2026.

Truthfully, there's not much change. We moved each of the zones north a smidge, primarily to make room for the addition to the 6-11" category for southern Monroe county. The irony here is this exclusive region of the state has been neglected when it comes to seasonal snowfall so far, and now it's the hotspot for snow on Sunday. To give you all an illustration of the forecast for this event, think of a six-sided die. Five of the six sides say "4-7" expected across the areas labeled". The one side that is labeled differently says "s**e, we are shifting this system 20 miles south". As this system moves into Illinois and Indiana later today, we will get some hints at what exactly will be rolled. For those who have been paying attention to our briefings, we haven't shifted north much, but rather maintained the current forecast zones due to confidence. If we get that 1-in-6 chance of a 20 mile shift south, expect the low end of the totals listed in your forecast zone.

In a meteorological sense, dry air will be present to start, and some wind on Sunday will blow snow around, but impressive 18:1-22:1 snowfall-to-liquid equivalent ratios are in play by midday Sunday. That means, once it starts snowing, the chances it accumulates quickly are heightened. With dendrites forming the best between temps of 0-10°F, and temperatures being around that range almost all day Sunday, especially as you go a couple hundred feet above the ground, this could result in a respectable accumulation event along and south of I-94 in southeastern Michigan.

Everything is ultimately probability based. Best odds are always the totals shown for your area, but there's always a slim chance nature plays its own game. Enjoy the snow, and the show!

A Winter Storm is becoming possible for parts of Michigan between this Saturday & Monday.

We’ve been watching the forecast for the last week to week and a half showing a massive surge of moisture and energy moving into the central United States. As it did so, we were also watching an exceptionally strong Arctic high moving south into the Midwest.

Over the last few days now, we’ve seen consistent model data showing the mid south getting absolutely pummeled by snow and ice from this system.

Over the last 24 hours, however, we’ve seen a shift in the forecast model data. The track of the system has shifted. It has been lead by the European model and to an extent the Canadian model. The American model has been playing catch up, but it also now shows a north shift.

What does that mean for Michigan? It means the chances of seeing impactful snow, especially for southern parts of the state are increasing. It is still too far out to start going into detail about potential accumulations, however, we know now that southern and southeast Michigan has at least a moderate chance to pick up several inches of snow, with western and central Michigan seeing at least a low chance now of picking up several inches of snow.

We still have more data to dig through today and tomorrow. Once we have a clear idea of the track of this system, snowfall accumulation maps will be made.

Do you need your driveway or business plowed with these crazy Michigan blizzards? There is more accumulation coming and lower temps on the way.
