4Warn Weather – Happy Friday!
Today is going to feel like we turned the corner back to winter. Anticipate some rain transitioning to flurries this morning with the cooling airmass in place.
However, we won’t see much accumulation on the wet and relatively warm ground before flurries taper off through the afternoon hours.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:57 a.m.
Any lake effect snow off Lake Michigan will stay west of our area, with a northerly wind keeping any of those snow bands from reaching Southeast Michigan.
Starting tonight, those overnight lows will be in the 20s through next week.
Tonight’s sunset is at 5:32 p.m.
Snow possible this weekend
We are turning more seasonable this weekend.
It will be cloudy and cool Saturday with highs in the mid-30s.
We could see widespread light snow showers through most of the daylight hours on Sunday. Any heavier showers will be early in the day, but lighter snow will linger into the evening.
We’re leaning more toward a dusting for accumulation across the metro area on Sunday, but 1-2 inches still looks probable. Higher snow totals will be found in the southern and eastern parts of our area.
Accumulating snow likely coming
It will be a quiet start to next week, with high temperatures remaining in the 30s. However, our next best chance at measurable snow will be looming in the Plains before heading toward Southeast Michigan mid-week.
Early computer models are indicating a few inches of snow accumulation on Wednesday, but we are still far enough out for the track of this system to fluctuate, which will greatly impact snowfall totals.
