An increasing southerly flow of air will take hold today across the Great Lakes region ushering in warmer air. The warm air will result in areas of fog as higher moisture air is pushed over a melting snow pack. The fog may become dense in spots through Thursday. Today and Thursday rain showers can be expected along with temperatures that will push into the 40s today and into the lower 50s on Thursday. On the leading edge of the precipitation this morning, with some low level cold air hanging on, some light freezing rain or drizzle can be expected. By early afternoon enough warming should have taken place to change any light freezing precipitation over to all rain. A cold front will push through Lower Michigan Thursday night bringing a transition back to a period of brief freezing rain before changing over to snow. Some accumulating snow is expected late Thursday night into Friday morning.
