Cold Temps, Wintry Weather Return To Michigan

MOUNT PLEASANT (WWJ) - Cold temperatures and some wintry weather are returning to parts of Michigan following a recent stretch of unseasonably warm weather.

The National Weather Service says one to three inches of snow is likely north of Reed City in Osceola County to the Mount Pleasant line in Isabella County.

Freezing rain could also figure into the mess as thunderstorms are possible Friday along and south of the I-96 corridor. The NWS says storms could produce hail the size of dimes, as well as locally heavy rainfall.

CBS62 Chief Meteorologist Jim Madaus said rain will move into the Metro area Friday afternoon as storms continue to blow across the region from the West.

Freezing temperatures are possible overnight, and will remain cool on Saturday. But Madaus says not to fret because temperatures will begin warming up on Sunday and lead into the new week with highs just below 70 degrees.
