Great Spring Weekend Weather!

Good Morning!

Let's get right into it...

SOME REAL SPRING:  Sunny skies and seasonably warm conditions on tap for today and tomorrow.  A few clouds here and there, but not much to break up the abundance of sun we'll see today, with readings climbing well into the 60's.  The nights will still be cool enough for a jacket for a bit yet, but that's to be expected this time of year!  Temperatures climb into 70+ territory by Sunday, but we'll pay the piper for that with weather that is...

RAINY AND COOLER BY NEXT WEEK:  If you need to get out and rake up last fall's leaves off the lawn so your grass can green up and look nice, now is the time!  Today and through most of the day Saturday, we stay dry and pleasant.  Clouds start working in on Saturday afternoon, then Saturday night into Sunday, some showers and thunder enter the area.  Sunday right now appears to be pretty damp, with low pressure tracking over northern Lower Michigan, keeping us cloudy and wet, and much cooler on the back side of the system.  Come Monday, we give back nearly 20 degrees of warmth, with highs only into the middle 50's!

SEVERE WEATHER?:  Not just yet.  Still early in the season for severe weather threats to migrate this far north in the country.  Typically that sort of thing is confined to the Plains and down in into the Deep South and Dixie Alley.  We do note that for the weekend, the whole Lower Peninsula is in a general thunderstorm risk according to the Storm Prediction Center, with the severe risk areas well removed from the state.

FORECAST:

Today - Sunny, pleasant, a few clouds.  High 64.  Wind SW 5-10 MPH

There's a look at the weekend for you!  We'll have more detail soon!  Blessings!
