LANSING, Mich. — We still don't feel like spring when stepping out the door across our neighborhoods today. As winds turn out of the south, air temperatures will warm back into the mid 30's today. However, wind chills will still be an issue along with continued snowfall due warm air advection.
Wind gusts out of the south could reach 25-30 mph today during the afternoon hours with feels like temperatures dropping into the mid 20's. Make sure to have that jacket ready when leaving the house during all parts of the day today.

We will continue to warm with air temperatures back in the 40's Thursday with a chance for some morning wintry mix that could bring additional slick spots for the morning commute.
