It was another cool start to the day here in South Central Michigan. Freeze Warnings were up for most counties covered by the Blog, though they have long expired. I'll tell you what - I'll take a Freeze Warning over the Winter Storm Warnings out east any day of the week. Several inches of snow have already fallen in NY State and Pennsylvania, and it's still going. This is also that heavy wet snow that downs trees and power lines, and can cause health problems for people out there trying to move it. Just look at this radar composite image of that belt of snow out east!
One (not so) deep dive coming up:
TEMPERATURES: We'll see temperatures cold during the night for another night and 50's during the day, then things start to moderate a bit for Wednesday, as we'll hit 60 and stay above freezing at night, with winds slowly starting to swing around to the south as the big ridge out west finally starts moving eastward a bit, allowing warmer air to roll in.
RAIN: We'll have a chance at a shower or two on Thursday, as a rather disorganized surface feature tracks south of us. The models have it closing off to a bona fide low, then re-opening and becoming more of an upper level low a couple of times while traveling between now and Thursday, so any rain that we get from it should be minimal. Here's the National Weather Service's idea of rain totals for the next five days.
SEVERE WEATHER: Nothing even CLOSE to Michigan for the next three days. In fact, there's no severe weather threat anywhere in the US for the next three days, just your typical garden variety spring thunderstorms are forecast, where you might have some gusty wind and small hail.
It's a bright sunny day in South Central Michigan, here's a look at the radar and some current observations, now that my primary source for radar images is partly back on-line after the first of some improvements:
Clear skies with low 50's being reported pretty much through the entire area of the blog.
Here's the local forecast for Jackson and surrounding communities including Parma and Brooklyn:
For today, mostly sunny skies, warming, high of 57, winds N 10-15 MPH.
Tonight, starry, clear skies, cold, patchy frost is definitely possible, lows down to 31, don't be surprised to see frost or freeze warnings issued later today.
Wednesday, sunny to start, then increasing clouds with a chance of a late day shower, high 60, winds NNW 7-15 MPH turning SW as the day progresses.
Wednesday night, cloudy skies, with a chance of a passing shower, low of 42, winds SW 5-10 MPH.
Thursday, sunny, high 57, winds S 7-15 MPH.
Friday, sunny to start, clouds increase throughout the day, a bit cooler, high 56, winds S 7-15 MPH.
Saturday, cloudy skies, a chance of a shower, high near 53.
Sunday, a few peeks of sunshine but mainly cloudy, cool, high of 50.
There's a look at your forecast into Sunday, I do hope you have a wonderful day! Blessings!
