Sunday Outlook...

Good Evening!

For the first time in recent days, we have no snow-related weather advisories on the map!  There's not much to see anywhere right now, except a thin line of precipitation out over Lake Michigan.  Right now we have mainly clear skies in Jackson, but they will cloud up again as we head toward daybreak.

SUMMARY:  Ridge/trough setup in the upper air over the US, so we get Clippers.  We don't get a whole lot of temperature variation, but for the next few days, you can expect an upper disturbance to zip through the area every 24-48 hours.  These little systems, called Alberta Clippers, will bother the atmosphere enough to stir up some snow.  You stand a chance at 1-2" of new snow each time one comes through, and right now, forecast data suggests that we'll see one tomorrow, Monday, and perhaps late Tuesday.  After that, any significant snow chances fade until Friday.

Temperatures stay right in the low 20's for daytime highs, with nighttime lows rolling back into single digit territory.   Wind chills shouldn't be quite as extreme as they have been, but still right around zero or even a little bit below.  Temperatures look to moderate, with a nice jump from right around 30 on Wednesday to almost 40 for Thursday and on into the weekend.  Here's the forecast for Jackson.

Today:  Mainly cloudy, chance of light snow during the afternoon, any snow that does fall should be light with accumulations about an inch, high 22.  Winds NNW 5-10 MPH.

Have a great Sunday!
