LANSING, Mich. — We are starting our Tuesday with extreme cold across our neighborhoods. The Cold Weather Advisory is still in affect across all of our neighborhoods through 9 AM Tuesday morning with winds chills as cold as 20 below zero.

However, strong winds out of the southwest are aiding in warming our temperatures gradually this morning ahead of a frontal passage that is bringing snow to neighborhoods a bit further northwest. We could see wind gusts reach 40 mph throughout the morning hours as the frontal passage advances through.

Even light accumulations of snow could cause issues as temperatures remain below 20 degrees. Slick spots on roadways as well as blowing snow remains a concern today when heading out on the roads. Make sure to stay weather aware when driving in winter weather.

Chilly conditions continue on even after the exiting clipper with small improvements to our overnight wind chills. We are expecting feels like temperatures to drop to 15 below zero overnight tonight. We are seeing these conditions a bit warmer because winds will be dying down into the overnight hours.
