This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of southwest Lower
Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Freezing rain is expected across Central Lower Michigan this
morning and some accumulation of ice is anticipated. Some areas
near U.S. 10 east of Baldwin may see more than a tenth of an inch
of ice. Elsewhere from I-96 to the north, trace amounts of ice may
occur before we warm above freezing between 6am and 9am.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into
tonight. The best chance for severe weather will roughly be from 4pm
through midnight. Strong and damaging winds will be the main
threat, but large hail and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out
either.

Locally heavy rain today and tonight may lead to short term
flooding in low spots and urban areas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Another round of thunderstorms is expected Friday night into
Saturday. Additional heavy rain and localized flooding is
possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

...Light Freezing Rain Possible early this Thursday Morning...

Light freezing rain is possible this morning from I-96 to the north.

freezing rain is short. Between 600am and 900am temperatures will
rise above freezing ending the freezing rain threat for areas like
Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Alma, Greenville, Pentwater and
Ludington. Be prepared for a few slick spots this morning though
before the temperatures warm up.

Interior Central Lower Michigan is where some heavier icing may occur
and a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for that area including
Newyago, Baldwin, Evart, Big Rapids, Harrison and Clare. Bottom line
be alert to some changeable driving conditions this morning.
