4Warn Weather – Good Monday morning!
As was anticipated on Sunday, a solid 1-2 inches of snow fell over the area, with a few isolated spots exceeding 3 inches.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:54 a.m.
Dry and relatively mild weather will set up for our Monday and into Tuesday as an upper-level ridging dominates the pattern over the Great Lakes. High temperatures should climb into the mid-30s to start the week, with low temperatures from the mid-20s to around 30 degrees.
Tonight’s sunset is at 5:35 p.m.
More snow Wednesday
Our next major weather maker will arrive mid-week.
A low-pressure system will travel through the Ohio Valley Wednesday and Wednesday night, bringing with it measurable snow to lower Michigan -- which will impact travel conditions.
Here are the details of this mid-week snowmaker:
- Snowfall will develop Wednesday morning, with the bulk of the snow coming down in the afternoon before tapering off throughout the evening.
- Most models agree that we should be seeing 2-4 inches of snow, although there will be pockets greater than 4 inches in our southeastern communities, including parts of Wayne and Monroe counties.
- Travel will be greatly impacted by the snowfall and the gusty northeasterly winds moving 20-30 mph that will further reduce visibility due to blowing and drifting snow.
- Temperatures will hover at or just below freezing most of the day.
We get a break in the snow on Thursday, although we will keep the chance of a few light flurries around. High temperatures top out in the low 30s.
Even more snow possible Friday
We could get another round of snow working into the region by the end of the week on Friday, with another upper-level disturbance working into the region. High temperatures remaining of the low 30s by Friday afternoon.
And looking ahead to next weekend, we keep the cloud cover into the forecast on Saturday, before yet another chance of snow moves in with another disturbance on Sunday. High temperatures remaining of the low 30s all of next weekend.
