Michigan’s Wild Weather Swings From Warm To Blizzard Chaos

Michigan nearly reached a record high Sunday, only to get hit by a  Blizzard Bomb Cyclone early Monday morning.  Here's what you can expect.

Southwest Michigan was pelted with heavy rain on Sunday, with temperatures reaching 61 degrees around 6 pm.  Then the temps dropped 35 degrees by Midnight.  Soon after midnight temps fell below freezing make driving conditions very dangerous.

The icy roads are just the tip of the iceberg.  The heavy wind gusts are creating blowing snow, which has created visibility issues and very cold wind chills.  Not to mention road debris throughout Southwest Michigan.  Many limbs and branches are landing in the roadway on the side streets.
