Get Ready For More Snow

Good Evening.

Another round of tough winter weather is on the way.  Let’s go straight to it and see what’s going on.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY:  The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weqther Advisroy that starts at noon tomorrow for all counties in the blog except Lenawee, Washtenaw, Livingston and Shiawassee.  (NOTE: Don’t be shocked to see one tomorrow, as all of those counties are handled by the National Weather Service Detroit office).  It starts at noon tomorrow and runs through midday Tuesday.   Six inches or better of snow is expected to fall in that time frame.

SNOW STARTS TOMORROW AFTERNOON:  Clouds start rolling in around daybreak, continue to thicken as the day progresses, and then we should start to see snow before the drive home tomorrow evening from work.  From what I have seen the heaviest snow will start to fall between 9 and 1 AM Tuesday.  Snow will increase in intensity from west to east, and then it will start tapering off after about 10 AM Tuesday.  Bear in mind that if the system speeds up or slows down, the time solutions I mentioned go out the window.  If the low tracks north or south of the projection I am using to build this forecast, the same thing occurs – snow totals get thrown out as well.

Regarding snowfall amounts, from what I can see, the heavier snow should be along and south of I-94.  This will be the area where upwards of 6” will fall.  North of I-94 to the I-96 corridor will see the 3-6” snows.  North of say, DeWitt should see amounts up 3”.

AFTER THE SNOW COMES SOME WARMING:  On the heels of all this snow we finally start to see some change in temperature, with enough warmth to start attacking the snowpack.  Average temperature in this part of the world is about 35 degrees, and we stay at or above start starting Tuesday and lasting into the weekend.

Forecast: Tonight – variably cloudy skies, chilly, lows dip to 5 above.

Monday – cloudy, snow starts to filter in after lunchtime, high 29.

Monday night – cloudy and snowy, heavy snow between evening drive and midnight, lows near 19.

Tuesday – snow tapering off after lunchtime, 3-6” of accumulation total depending on location, warmer, high 35.

There’s a look at your forecast – I will have more on the snow situation for you tomorrow.
