Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.
