There are a couple storms systems that will be impacting the area over the next several days. The first storm, a clipper type system, is about to begin its impacts. Precipitation should be all snow and some decent, quick accumulations are possible. A winter weather advisory is in effect for Genesse, Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Saginaw, Shiawassee, and St. Clair counties until 10am Saturday. Snow accumulations of 2-4" in a 6hr time period can be expected. After this clipper moves out, there is the potential for a bigger storm early next week. Right now, it looks like there will be a mix of precipitation with not a lot of snow accumulations. Depending on if the models shift track/ trend warmer or colder this may change. It is something that needs to be monitored. Otherwise, the weather will be seasonably cool and partly cloudy. I did a quick snowfall map, seen below, to get my ideas out and since the clipper is affecting me.

Ok, it hopefully shouldn't take that long. The longest will be looking for the right video and/or image to use.
