One Last Crummy Day...

Good Morning!

Some changes in the forecast for today, but the rest of this weekend and early next week still has some pleasant spring air moving in.  Let's have a look and see what's running under the hood...

STUBBORN CLOUDS:  I told you yesterday that clouds would be on their way out of here by last night or this morning.  That's not going to happen.  They stick around for the better part of today and perhaps into tonight.  Why?  There's a shortwave disturbance moving through right now, it's connected to a low pressure center that is sliding south of us.  As a result, we sit under the clouds and such being pulled along with it.  We may, and I emphasize, MAY, see some snow showers today, since we're on the cold side of this disturbance.  Temperatures will likely not get out of the 30's, but it's nothing that will really bother us.  Here's a look at the current satellite and Tru-Track Doppler radar for you to see what's happening...

As you can see, just the hint of light snow and snow showers south of US-12 in Hillsdale and Lenawee counties.  Some of this could creep north into the I-94 corridor later on today, I don't see it going much further than I-96 if it even gets there.

BEAUTIFUL SECOND HALF:  If you've been waiting for Spring weather (and I know you have), your patience is rewarded tomorrow!  Clearing skies as temperatures start climbing on south winds bringing milder air in here.  Here's a look current temperatures around the nation:

Abundant sunshine tomorrow and Monday!

DOWN THE LINE:  Monday is Opening Day for Major League Baseball, and if you're taking in a game in Detroit at Comerica, it looks great!  Same thing goes for Milwaukee and Chicago.  Sunny skies with readings in the upper 40's or low 50's appears to fill the bill right now.  Monday evening, clouds start working in, then by Tuesday we introduce some scattered showers into the picture, with a rewind and repeat for Tuesday night into Wednesday.  Mid-week includes some scattered shower activity as a disturbance that wants to push in here from the southwest gets checked somewhat by a high sitting up in Canada.  It's far enough north that it allows for some rain to elbow in, but I'll take it.  If it were further south it would send our temperatures back down.  As it looks now, we stay in the mid 40's or so.

Here's the forecast:

And here's the extended outlook for you - if you need to be out, tomorrow and Monday are the days to do it!

I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!  Blessings.
