LANSING, Mich. — We are already waking up to snowfall across our neighborhoods as some light snow moved through our neighborhoods bringing a dusting to some neighborhoods. Roads for the morning commute shouldn't be impacted too badly, but stay weather aware as we track more snowfall throughout the day.

High temperatures reach the lower 30's today which is right around where we should be. However, this daytime high will occur later this evening as this afternoon temps will continue warming into the upper 20's.
