Maybe A Bit Of Spring Mid Week...

Good Morning!

The picture has become much clearer regarding our chances of rain and snow over the coming week.  We do see a brief bit of warming for the end of the week, but we also see winter-like conditions hang on for awhile.  Let's have a closer look and see what's running under the hood:

WINTER TEMPERATURES LINGER:  No warming on the horizon yet, with temperatures staying around the freezing mark for daytime highs, for the next few days.  No real signs of Spring until we get into the latter half of the week, when we break 40 and start climbing to more seasonable readings.  Seasonal average this time of year is right around 50 degrees.

SOME SNOW FOR MID WEEK:  We'll see a disturbance work into the area Tuesday that will bring us some light snow.  I don't think we get a lot out of it, no more than around an inch, but old man winter is not going quietly.  Enough said.  Temperatures will remain winter-like, but we'll start seeing some changes Wednesday.

WARMING FOR THE END OF THE WEEK:  As we get into Thursday and Friday, we see warmer conditions, with readings trending up toward 50, and some showers possible late Thursday and Friday.  I'm not seeing any thunderstorm activity with this system - not enough instability around for convection.  These look like just plain vanilla showers, and a snowflake here and there mixed in with them is still a possibility.  After that system comes through the area, we cool back into the mid-upper 30's or so.

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