Big Changes...

Good Evening!

The temperatures have started to fall as advertised, and the rains are working into the area.  Any place that is dry now will not be in the next hour or so.  A couple of wrinkles have been added to the mix:

WINTER WEATHER: A Winter Weather Advisory has been posted by the National Weather Service until 11 AM tomorrow for Calhoun, Jackson, Eaton, Ingham and Clinton counties.  What's expected to happen is that as temperatures fall below freezing tonight, rain will change to freezing rain, then to light snow.  Icing will be an issue also.  As much as three-tenths of an inch of ice is possible in some areas by daybreak, with around an inch of snow on the high side throughout the area.

FLOODING:  The National Weather Service has also issued a Flood Watch for Branch, Hillsdale, Lenawee, Washtenaw and Livingston Counties until 10 AM tomorrow.  Temperatures in this part of the state are expected to remain sufficiently above freezing that steady moderate to heavy rain will be the precipitation mode, and some flooding or flash flooding is possible.

If you are in the far southeastern part of the South Zone, please watch for rain/flooding and fog tonight.  The rest of the blog needs to look out for rain changing over.

We'll keep monitoring the situation and update as needed.
