BARAGA, Mich. (AP) — Parts of Michigan are getting hit with wintry weather as a storm system that unleashed a blizzard in the Upper Midwest moves through the region.

Light snow was reported Thursday morning in parts of the southern Lower Peninsula, but more snow and ice was forecast in northern portions of the state.

The National Weather Service says that the western Upper Peninsula is being placed under a winter weather warning through early Friday, with a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain. Snow accumulations of 6-10 inches are expected, with higher totals in places.

In the northern Lower Peninsula, snow and ice also could make driving hazardous.

In Michiana, a line of strong to severe thunderstorms was forecast to move through the area on Thursday night, April 11.

Easterly winds are expected to remain between 20 and 25 mph with

This afternoon winds will become southeasterly this afternoon and

outages today. Make sure to secure any loose objects that may be

southwest Michigan.
