A Brief Break From Spring...

Good Evening!

Our cool down is in full efect right now with winds turning more westerly on their way to northwest as a trough drops in from Canada, bringing us some chilly air for the next few days.  Let's take a look and see what we have on tap:

COOL IT OFF, REWARM IT:  Jackson reached 57 degrees today, with 56 in Battle Creek and 55 in Lansing.  That mild air is all but out of here as we have reading in the low to mid 40's across the board in the blog, and we will get down intot he 20's before daybreak Monday.  We'll keep readings in the 40's through midweek, then we start to pick up some warmth and get back into the seasonable 50's, carrying them into the weekend.  Average temperature this time of year is right around 53 degrees, and once we make it to Thursday, we get back into the ballpark and stay there right through the forecast window.

DRY WEEK ON TAP:  A pretty dry look in store for this part of the world, even though we are in the base of a trough, there isn't much in the way of disturbances embedded within it to create any real fuss.  There is the slight chance of a couple of snowflakes tomorrow, but other than that, we come under the influence of a couple of high pressure systems, keeping us dry and fair, with a few clouds here and there.  The next big chance for rain comes on Saturday where we have a chance at some scattered shower activity. Have a look at thye 5 day precipitation forecast from the National Weather Service:


As it stands right now, BONE DRY in this part of the world over the next five days.

Here's alook at the forecast for Jackson and surrounding areas including Parma and Michigan Center:

Tonight, cloudy and cold, lows roll back to near 27, wind NW 6-12 MPH.

Monday, mainly cloudy, perhaps some PM sunshine, high only 41.  Wind NW 6-12 MPH.

Monday night, mainly clear and very cold, lows all the the way down to 19, wind NW 3-6 MPH.

We will have an extended look at the forecast for you tomorrow.  Also, a special day - more on that to come!
