4Warn Weather – Welcome to Wednesday!
The gloomy, chilly conditions continue today before we’ll see temperatures warm up over the next few days.
As our low-pressure system finally starts to move east, we’ll continue to see clouds and rain showers for at least the first half of our Wednesday.
High temperatures will reach the mid-50s by the afternoon, but gusty winds will keep it feeling cool. Wind gusts will reach 25-30 mph throughout the day.
Clouds will start breaking up this evening. Overnight lows will drop into the 40s.
Weather shifts Thursday
Our weather will shift on Thursday in a much nicer direction.
High pressure will move into the region as an atmospheric pattern called an “omega block” finally breaks down. With high pressure, we’ll see more sunshine and warmer tempers through the end of the week.
Sunshine will increase Thursday, and will help feel highs in the 50s feel warmer than they are.
Friday/weekend outlook
Drier and warmer weather continue to end the week and will last through the weekend.
Friday highs will be in the 60s, which is close to average. Highs will be in the upper 60s on Saturday, and the lower 70s on Sunday -- which is above average.
Dry weather will stick around until early next week.
Wet weather returns
The computer models show another system moving into the region late Monday into Tuesday. Rain chances increase late Monday afternoon and evening, and will last into Tuesday -- but it’s not expected to be a washout.
Temps will remain above average early next week, in the low to middle 70s. Skies will be partly cloudy.
Some good news
It seems that above average temperatures will stick around through the middle of May!
The Climate Prediction Center’s 8-14-day temperature outlook shows a good chuck of the continental U.S. is forecast to be well above average, including Michigan.
Our average high temperatures are around the mid-60s, so we should stay warmer for a bit.
