Final Storm Prep...

Good Morning!

A bit less than 12 hours to go before the main event kicks off here in Michigan with our storm coming this way.  We have cloudy skies in the area with temperatures between 28-34.  Let's get into a deeper dive and see what's coming at us:

STORM ON THE WAY:  Current Grand Rapids NEXRAD radar is showing precipitation in northern Indiana.  They are seeing freezing rain and sleet currently, and this is what we will see as the storm works into this part of the world.  We should start to see some freezing precipitation by lunchtime, and then the snow changeover occurs later on from south to north.  No changes in the forecast thinking at this time, so we'll get on this horse and ride it going forward.  Based on the data I have available to me now, we will see all modes of precipitation short of snow between now and say 2-5 PM.  After 5 PM, the changeover should be well underway, and I would think that by 7-8 PM, we'll see big wet fluffy flakes falling from the heavens.  To summarize:


TEMPERATURES:  For most areas of the blog, we climb into the mid 30's today, then knock on the 40's door for tomorrow afternoon.  That will help melt some of the snow we should pick up in the next 18-24 hours.  The coldest temperatures look to show up for the weekend, with most areas hovering a couple of degrees either side of freezing Friday thru Sunday.

I will have the complete forecast around lunchtime for you.
