Everything looks to be coming together for a widespread snow on Thursday into Friday morning. It will probably be the most widespread snow across the Lower Peninsula that we've had so far this winter.

The first graphic is an early look at the possible snow totals when the storm is done. Make sure to keep updated with our forecast, since the storm could track a little further south. In that case, the bands of snow may need to be adjusted southward by 25 to 50 miles.

Everyone should see some accumulating snow in Michigan. The heaviest could fall from Clare to Houghton Lake to Tawas. That zone could have over seven inches of snow.

Heading south, Midland, Bay City, Saginaw, Flint, Grand Rapids, and Muskegon are in the four to seven inch range. The northern sections of that zone would be on the higher end of that range.

Heading southward more, Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Ann Arbor look to enjoy two to four inches of snow. Again, the farther south, the lower you'll be in that range.

Finally, the far southern sections of the state, and all of the Upper Peninsula could see only one to two inches of snow.

When does the snow start?

Thursday morning snow will develop in northern Michigan. By noon Thursday, the western edge of the state should have snow. Finally by late afternoon, the snow will have developed in southeast Michigan.

That means Thursday morning's commute may be dry, but coming home from work could take some time. The worst driving conditions will be overnight Thursday night.

The snow should be winding down Friday morning, with probably just light snow by Friday morning's commute. With all the snow overnight Thursday, Friday morning's commute could still be rough.

Here's a radar forecast that you can control. This helps you see when the snow will start in your area. This link is updated every six hours at 5am, 11am, 5pm, and 11pm.

Remember the storm is still way out west in the Rockies, so the track could change. I just wanted to give you an early look at the weather on the way. Check back here often to get updates on the storm.
