Today could bring some heavy weather to the mid sections of our country.  Northern Michigan is expecting a significant ice storm which will cause havoc for travelers today and tomorrow.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mackinaw bridge is closed for a while.  As for us, we could see thunderstorms this afternoon with a very slight chance that some could be severe.  This threat will continue through the weekend.  Right now, we have cloudy skies and a few peeks of the sun.
