I hope that you are enjoying some good family time and some Christmas Dinner. I know there are thousands in Mid-Michigan that do not have power or heat right now thanks the ice storm from earlier in the week. Tuis will definitely be a Christmas to remember, and not in a good way. We are blessed to have power and heat here in the south zone of the blog. Let's get in here and see what we have going on...
Here's a look at Tru-Track Doppler Radar, showing the snow filtering into the area...
COLD AND MORE SNOW: Very cold conditions continue for the next couple of days, but a brief warmup is on the way. Another shot of snow for tonight and into tomorrow for those venturing out to find some after Christmas deals in the stores. Another quick hit of snow is possible on Friday, then milder, at least for Saturday. I expect accumulations to stay around an inch, heavier in the snow box.
MODERATING TEMPERATURES FOR A BIT: Forecast model data suggests a daytime high right around freezing for Friday, and on Saturday, highs near 40. After that, we drop back into the teens and 20's range. Well below average, when you consider that we typically are around 31 degrees this time of year here in Michigan.
ANOTHER CRACK AT SOME SNOW ON SUNDAY: We could see another burst of snow on Sunday, as a low tracks across the northern half of Michigan. This one doesn't look to be particularly strong, but what it does do is make the freezer door stand open and allow frigid air in from north of the border. As it stands now the warmest day we see through midweek is Monday, the GFS forecast model is printing a high of 24, but I wouldn't be shocked to see us only make it 22.
Here's the forecast for Jackson and vicinity:
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. If you've been displaced or impacted by the ice storm, I hope that you will soon be back to normal. Blessings.
