Another gorgeous start to a Thursday here in Michigan, BUT....the clouds and rain are coming, no two ways about it. Let's get a quick summary and then show you the forecast:
SUMMARY: Temperatures continue several degrees above normal for today, right through Saturday. Daytime highs in the area will trend anywhere from 10 to almost 20 degrees above normal. Today we'll be in the mid 40's, upper 40's or even low 50's Friday, then mid to upper 50's on Saturday. After that, expect the temperatures to almost halve themselves, and we change from rain back to snow as the precipitation mode.
PRECIPITATION: With respect to rain, we'll see clouds thicken as the day progresses, and we'll mention the chance of a stray shower in the early evening, but I fully expect our rain to start well after dark. I would suspect that most places shouldn't start getting wet until Thursday Night Football is done or late in the game. Currently that rain is in central and southern Indiana, and it will slowly make it's way northeast.
The rain sticks around most of the day Friday, and I must admit that I am wrestling with leaving in the forecast a mention of a buried thunderstorm or not. While surface temperature is certainly warm enough to support the development of storms, what's going on overhead and how that is forecast to lay out has me less than enthusiastic about the possibility. For now, it stays in, but don't be shocked to see the forecast change to just rain, locally heavy at times.
Alright, forecast for Jackson and surrounding areas including Parma and Grass Lake goes like this:
Today, partly to mostly sunny starting out, increasing clouds as the day progresses. Perhaps an isolated afternoon shower, high 46, winds ESE 5-10 MPH.
Tonight, cloudy skies, rain by midnight, lows near 34, winds SE 5-10 MPH turn southerly toward daybreak and increase to 10-15 MPH.
Friday, cloudy and rainy, continued unseasonably mild, high 53. Wind SSW 7-14 MPH.
Friday night, rain ends, cloudy skies and unseasonably mild, low only 42, winds SSW 6-12 MPH.
Saturday, a mix of clouds and sunshine, an outside chance of a lingering shower, milder still, high near 57.
Sunday, clouds, scattered to numerous showers with maybe a bit of snow mixing in, high 39.
Monday, partly cloudy skies, we can't rule out an isolated snow shower or some light snow, high 30.
Tuesday, overcast, scattered showers or even snow showers linger in the area, high 30.
Wednesday, clouds don't really go anywhere, we keep a small chance of a few flakes or some light snow, high only 33.
There's a look at your forecast for the next six days, I do hope that you have a great Thursday! Blessings.
