LANSING, Mich. — Isolated lake effect snow showers will remain possible today, but the bigger story will be a renewed shot of frigid air. Temperatures starting the day in the upper teens will continue to dip toward the low and middle teens into the afternoon. On top of that, winds out of the west at 10-15 mph will keep wind chills hovering in the single-digits to near zero.
Clearing skies tonight will only allow the cold to get worse. Lows overnight will plummet to near zero in most neighborhoods, owing to clearing skies and slightly lighter winds at 6-12 mph. Even so, the wind will be enough to push wind chills down in to the negative teens on Sunday morning.
Frostbite will be possible on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes, so make sure to cover up completely if venturing outdoors. That will generally be good advice for the entire weekend, but especially Sunday morning.
Sunday may allow us a few more breaks of sunshine, but it won't anything to warm us up. A few lake effect flurries will be possible with highs only reaching the low 20s at best. Wind chills will only recover a bit above zero in the afternoon, before plummeting again toward the negative teens by Monday morning.

Wednesday and Thursday continue to point to a warmup, and a significant one at that. Wednesday may throw a few rain and snow showers our way as a weak disturbance moves through the Great Lakes. Highs will get a bump to the upper 30s, and keep climbing toward the low and mid 40s on Thursday as a new storm system arrives with rain.
