We now expect up to five-hundredths of an inch of freezing rain over almost the southern half of Lower Michigan. This is why the NWS- Grand Rapids and the NWS- Detroit added two rows of counties to the winter weather advisory.

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.

The National Weather Service said Hillsdale, Lenawee and Monroe counties 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.

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

States to the north will see the brunt of the ice storm heading to the Midwest this week. Kentucky will see mostly rainfall and thunderstorms.
