Brace For Back To Winter...

There really hasn't been a lot to say about the weather in the area today except for "man oh man" - until now. We have had all of the weather that you could possibly want, short of summer-like conditions.  The Storm Prediction Center pulled us out of the slight risk for severe yesterday, and that has lived up to advance billing. All of the action has been to the south and west of us.

Our turn is coming soon, and I can say that it looks like we shouldn't have to worry about any major issues, but I can't rule out the chance that a severe thunderstorm warning would be needed tonight.  Let's take a peek at Tru-Track Doppler and see what's on tap:

The storm just off the map south of Coldwater will be working into Michigan in the next half hour or so, impacting Branch and Hillsdale counties.  I am seeing that the storms are losing steam as they come into the colder, more stable air here, so hopefully that trend continues.

You can expect additional rain, up to 3/4" of an inch depending on where you are, and that, combined with snow melt from the above freezing readings, and clogged storm drains, will lead to plenty of standing water.

I'm looking at data for after this stuff gets through here beyond the midnight to 1 AM time frame.  More to come.
