The weather-maker moving through Michigan tonight and very early Thursday has just a slight tweaking to its track. As a result the National Weather Service has expanded the winter weather advisory northward.

The National Weather Service said the Midwest, including Michigan, should expect freezing rain and ice accumulations starting Wednesday.

Snow, freezing rain and ice are likely Wednesday in the Lansing area, and driving could become hazardous by Wednesday night, forecasters said.

So here’s how it probably goes: Light snow and freezing rain develop Wednesday night and continue only until mid-morning Thursday. Snowfall across the southern half of Lower Michigan will only be an inch or two. Snowfall across northern Lower Michigan will only be one to three inches.

Sleet should accumulate around an inch, which can cause travel issues on its own, along with a glaze of freezing rain. Freezing rain begins falling in the middle of the night and will continue up until sunrise on Thursday morning.
