This story has been updated with new information.

Even as thousands of Michiganders were waiting Saturday morning, Dec. 26, for their power to be restored from a Friday ice storm, the National Weather Service was predicting another winter storm for late Sunday through Tuesday, Dec. 29-31.

"An impactful storm system will move into Michigan Sunday into early next week, with accumulating snow, strong winds, and blowing snow," the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids said on Facebook. "The best chances for heavy snow will be across the Upper Peninsula, and the snow belts of lower Michigan.

"Rain will likely mix in for portions of lower Michigan during the day on Sunday before transitioning to snow during the Sunday night into Monday time frame. There is still uncertainty in snow amounts and the intensity of the storm system, so be sure to check back for updates!" the weather service added.

A winter storm watch early Saturday was upgraded to a blizzard warning and winter storm warning for the Upper Peninsula. Storm warnings and watches were in effect for the Great Lakes and a winter weather advisory was issued in the northern Lower Peninsula.

In addition, a winter storm watch was in effect for the entire length of Lake Michigan and a high wind watch was in effect from central Michigan and the thumb to southeast Michigan.

The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center called the system a "strong, multi-hazard winter storm" and said it will deliver heavy snow and whiteout conditions, hazardous ice, strong winds and dangerously cold wind chills.

"A powerful winter storm will affect the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast Sunday through Tuesday with heavy snow, blowing snow, and hazardous icing," the weather service said.

Saturday morning, more than 28,000 electric customers in Michigan were without power after a Friday ice storm left behind a tenth of an inch of ice in place. Outages had totaled about 50,000 Friday afternoon.

On Saturday morning, the NWS office in Detroit said the system will bring much colder air and windy conditions by Monday.

"A rapidly intensifying low pressure system is forecast to cross the Great Lakes Sunday into Monday," the NWS said.

The weather service said winds will be sustained at 20 to 30 mph and could gust as high as 55 mph.

"Scattered power outages possible," the NWS warned. "Flash freezing on paved surfaces possible."

In northern Michigan, the Gaylord NWS office said the storm will be most intense on Monday.

A complex winter system has potential to bring significant impacts Sunday thru Tuesday. Of particular concern is the Sunday night — Monday night period, when significant snowfall overlaps a period of very strong winds," the NWS said on X on Dec. 27.

The Gaylord and Marquette NWS offices said snowbelt areas should anticipate more than 12 inches of snow. Strong winds will lead to blowing and drifting as temperatures "plummet."

The Gaylord office said areas in northern Michigan should expect freezing rain Sunday morning, turning to rain until evening.

After midnight on Monday, the storm will turn to snow, which will be heavy at times, and snow will continue into Tuesday.

"The worst conditions are expected Sunday into Monday morning, when the combination of heavy snow and high winds could make travel very difficult to impossible," the Marquette office said.

Here's a look at the current radar and National Weather Service advisories, and where snow will fall.

How much snow could fall?

According to the National Weather Service Probabilistic Precipitation Portal, the following are "expected" snowfall amounts by Tuesday morning:

What does a winter storm watch mean?

A winter storm watch, calls for the potential for heavy snow or significant ice accumulations, usually at least 24 to 36 hours in advance, the weather service said.

Watches are issued when there is a 50% or greater chance of bad weather, and released to give people enough time to set safety plans in motion beforehand.

LANSING, MI -- A lucky player in Michigan won a $1 million prize in the Powerball drawing held on Saturday, Dec. 13. The winner matched all five white numbers drawn -- 1-28-31-57-58 -- to win the prize.

Had the player also matched the red Powerball number -- which was 16 -- they would have won the $1.059 billion jackpot.

The winning ticket was sold at the Court Street Party Market, located at 1101 Court St, Cheboygan, Mich. The winner has one year from the drawing date to come forward and claim the prize.

The prize must be claimed at the Michigan Lottery headquarters in Lansing. The winner is asked to contact the Michigan Lottery’s Player Relations division at 1-844-917-6325 to schedule an appointment to collect their winnings.

While the player in Michigan won a huge prize, no one won the $1.059 billion jackpot. That means the drawing on Monday, Dec. 15 will be worth $1.1 billion, the sixth largest prize in Powerball history.

The last players from Michigan to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is the Breakfast Club lottery club which claimed an $842 million jackpot in June 2024. The members plan to use the money to buy a home in Florida and travel.

And while they were lucky winners, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a Powerball winner worth $250,000 sold in Bloomfield Hills in 2024 went unclaimed. That money went to the state’s School Aid Fund.

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - The city of Lansing will not renew the contract of Lansing Fire Chief Brian Sturdivant at the end of the year.

The news comes in the midst of a lawsuit against the city and fire department alleging Sturdivant violated the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act in asking two male firefighters to make sure a female firefighter was wearing a bra.

“Mayor Schor has notified the City Council and Fire Board of Commissioners that he has named Carrie Edwards-Clemons as the Interim Fire Chief effective immediately and she will remain in the role until a permanent Fire Chief is appointed,” city officials said in a statement to News 10 Friday afternoon.

“While we do not comment on details of personnel matters, Brian Sturdivant’s contract, which ends on December 31, is not being renewed. We thank him for his service to the City of Lansing.”

The city did not say whether the change is a direct result of the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed last month in Ingham County Circuit Court on behalf of Cecilia Major, who began working for the department as a paramedic/firefighter in 2021, according to the lawsuit. Both city officials and Major’s attorneys say the city has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit.

As part of her job duties, Major works 24-hour shifts at a firehouse in Lansing, where she also sleeps and eats. She is the only woman assigned to that firehouse, according to the lawsuit.

This June, Major was told to report to Assistant Chief Carrie Edwards-Clemons’ office, where she was told that she had been given an order by Sturdivant to hold a meeting “as to why she was not wearing a bra at all times while at work,” the lawsuit says.

Major “had never been informed previously that there were issues surrounding her choice not to wear a bra,” the lawsuit claims. During her meeting with Edwards-Clemons, the lawsuit says Major “raised several issues” with the assistant chief, including her concerns that she “was being targeted and/or singled out and that it was discriminatory.”

She also raised concerns that “her appearance, rather than her ability to do her job, was the subject of the City of Lansing’s attention.”

“Ms. Major inquired whether there had been complaints and inquired whether she was in violation of a policy, or whether the policy had changed to require that she wear a bra, as neither the fire department nor the City had a policy that required a bra, or any undergarments, be worn,” the lawsuit says.

She also discussed the possibility that the fire department provide high-impact bras as part of their uniforms and add feminine hygiene stations to the women’s restrooms. Edwards-Clemons did not have answers to those questions, according to the lawsuit.

After that meeting, the assistant chief told Sturdivant that Major had several questions and felt she was being discriminated against. Three days later, Major emailed Edwards-Clemons, requesting the names and emails for her human resources representatives so she could address her concerns, but she did not receive those contacts, according to the lawsuit.

Instead, Edwards-Clemons told her two more days later that she was directed by Sturdivant to “inform her that all correspondence, requests and questions should only be directed to his office, effectively discouraging her from going to human resources with her concerns,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit says Sturdivant called a meeting with Major on June 24, Edwards-Clemons, Battalion Chief Clevenger and Captain Donovan. Ahead of that meeting, Major “expressed frustration” that a meeting was being called over her decision not to wear a bra at all times.

Major chose to have her union steward accompany her to the June 24 meeting, which “further angered Sturdivant,” according to the lawsuit. Sturdivant told the union steward that he didn’t have the authority to speak during the meeting and that he was not invited, the lawsuit says.

During the meeting, Sturdivant allegedly asked Major whether she was wearing a bra and said it was “improper” for her not to wear a bra, even though the department’s policy does not mention a bra or any undergarments, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit says Major was “threatened with insubordination” and told several times when she tried to ask questions about the policy or share her reasoning for not wearing a bra that she was being insubordinate.

At the end of the meeting, Major asked why not wearing an issue and Sturdivant replied “because I deem it so,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit goes on to say the meeting ended with Sturdivant “issuing two direct orders from the Office of the Fire Chief”:

Major says she left that meeting “feeling attacked, traumatized and discriminated against.”

The lawsuit claims that when Major went to the city of Lansing, officials “found that the policies and interpretations of those policies needed to be updated, but did nothing to investigate her claims of discrimination after the two meetings.”

Speaking to News 10, attorney Hannah Fielstra says Major was “singled out” by the chief in calling the meetings.

“This is a fairly egregious and straightforward instance of discrimination and the fallout from that,” Fielstra said.

Firefighters’ union reacts to lawsuit

Lansing Professional Firefighters Local 421, the union that represents the department, released a statement saying they “[stand] firmly and unapologetically” with Major.

Speaking with News 10, union president Brad Jorae said the union is taking the matter seriously.

“When this member stepped forward, and these allegations were made and the lawsuit was filed, we were taken aback by this,” Jorae said.

Jorae said he believes this is an opportunity for the city to make “much needed changes.”

“We want to see accountability and better communication, and a commitment to a culture where every firefighter feels safe, valued and supported. That’s what we’re fighting for,” Jorae said.

Read the union’s full statement below:

“Lansing Professional Firefighters Local 421 stands firmly and unapologetically with our member who has filed a lawsuit against Fire Chief Brian Sturdivant for the discriminatory and inappropriate treatment she experienced in the workplace.

“The behavior described in the lawsuit is unacceptable, unprofessional, and will not be tolerated. Our members deserve a workplace grounded in dignity, respect, and fairness — not one where they are subjected to invasive, inappropriate, or discriminatory actions from anyone in a leadership position.

“The lack of leadership displayed by the Fire Chief should never reflect on the men and women of the Lansing Fire Department, who show up every single day to protect this community. Our members remain committed to the highest standards of professionalism, compassion, and service. They continue to respond, to serve, and to safeguard the citizens of Lansing regardless of the challenges created above them.

“To our member: your courage in stepping forward is recognized and supported. Local 421 stands beside you — today, tomorrow, and for as long as it takes."

The union released a further statement Friday evening after the news broke:
