It may be March, but winter's not done with Michigan. A winter storm warning is in effect for much of lower Michigan from 1 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday as a potential major winter storm is tracking toward the lower part of the state, the National Weather Service projects.

As of Friday morning, the storm is expected to hit the middle part of the Lower Peninsula the hardest, with Kalamazoo, Lansing, Jackson and Flint expected to get up to 8-12 inches of snow.

Metro Detroit is expected to get 4-6 inches of snow, but the northern and western suburbs could get hit harder, with up to 8-12 inches in Pontiac. A heavy, wet snow is expected, with the highest accumulations occurring between 4 and 11 p.m.

Of course, this is Michigan weather, so all of this is subject to change. But here are the latest snowfall predictions for the state of Michigan this weekend, as of Friday morning.
