4Warn Weather – Good Wednesday morning!
It’ll be rather quiet today.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:58 a.m.
Our Wednesday will be cloudy and cooler with highs in the low 40s. It’ll still be somewhat breezy with wind gusts possibly reaching 20 mph.
The mild air in place will limit the potential for snow accumulations with the system approaching us tonight into Thursday.
Tonight’s sunset is at 5:28 p.m.
A triple point will push through Indiana late tonight -- that is when an occluded front, cold front and warm front all intersect, and if enough moisture wraps in from the warm sector, heavy rain and storms can develop along the fronts and wrap into the low pressure.
Storm approaches Thursday
This is the same system that will make its way into lower Michigan on Thursday, bringing with it a marginal risk for storms right at the Michigan/Ohio state line. Low-topped, fast-moving thunderstorms are possible in that region overnight Wednesday into Thursday.
As the system pushes into our south zone, it could bring with it the potential for a few damaging wind gusts. With the onset of this precipitation, the heart of the metro area could start with a brief rain/snow mix changing to rain into Thursday.
Thursday highs will climb again into the upper 40s.
Cooler Friday with some snow
A cooler, but not brutally cold, air mass will settle into the region in the wake of this system. High temperatures will generally reach the mid-to-upper 30s Friday and through the weekend.
It is worth noting that we will likely see some snowflakes flying on Friday as this system works its way out of our area.
An unsettled pattern could return by the end of the weekend, in which scattered rain/snow showers should become increasingly common from Sunday into early next week.
