Back And Forth...

Good Morning!

Clouds in the area right now, and falling out of them, some freezing rain or even light snow.  I don't expect much in the way of accumulation, but you want to be careful as the rain that is falling is freezing on contact, making driving a tricky affair.  Let's take a look and see what we have...

BACK TO WINTRY STUFF FOR A BIT:  This is exactly why I said midweek that I did not want to get people too excited about the milder weather.  We made it to 45 in Jackson for the high yesterday, doesn't matter now though, because today we'll be right around freezing all day, and that lends itself to rain, freezing rain, and even some snow.  This is exclusively a south zone issue, as everything is falling in an area along and south of I-94.

I don't expect it to move a whole lot between now and tonight when things finally start to wind down and this little disturbance gets elbowed out of here.  Another little wave comes down from Canada and bothers mainly the Upper Peninsula tomorrow, we'll see some clouds out of the deal but I don't believe anything falls out of them.  That second little wave gets moved along tomorrow night by...

A BRIEF BREAK FOR HIGH PRESSURE AND MILDER WEATHER:  We get these clouds thinned out, if not gone tonight and start bumping up the temperatures again as high pressure begins to work in from the west.  The good news is that this pressure isn't quite as Canadian, it's rolling in out of the Rockies, so we get warmer weather and ridging building in for a day or two.  Don't go breaking out the coolers and shorts though, readings only in the lower 40's for a day and a half, then we slip back into the 30's.  I won't complain too loudly though - every hour above freezing is an hour we melt some snow.  I can't speak for you, but I am sick of it!  A few clouds Monday afternoon then perhaps a snow shower on Tuesday.  After that we get back into the precipitation...

A WAVE, MORE COLD, MORE SNOW:  The disturbance that bothers us Tuesday tracks off to the east and pulls cold air in behind it, becoming a potent late season storm for New England.  Wednesday, some clouds and some light snow are possible, then on Saturday, we see the next system in here, and that looks like a snow-maker as well.  Old Man Winter is going to go kicking and screaming this year as it stands now...

Here's the forecast for Jackson and vicinity:

Today - cloudy, all modes of precipitation possible along and south of I-94, this should change to all snow by dinnertime.  High 32.  Wind NNW 4-8 MPH.

Tonight - Becoming clear and cold, low 11. Wind NNW 3-7 MPH.

Sunday - Periods of clouds and sun, continued seasonably chilly, high 31.

There's a partial forecast for you, we'll have graphics and tweaks for you later!  Blessings.
