DETROIT – The last big winter storm grazed us Thursday, as expected, leaving an inch or two fluffy in the area.
Light snow and snow showers are gradually decreasing, and the generally cloudy sky (which means that some of us may experience occasional spikes in the sun) will prevail during the day until sparse snowfalls develop in the late afternoon and evening.
The highs will reach the mid-20s (-3 degrees Celsius), with a light northwest wind of 5 to 10 mph becoming a west wind in the afternoon – it is this shift to the west that will help energize the effect snow machine of Lake Michigan and bring some snow showers across the state later.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:23 am and today’s sunset is at 6:11 pm
Snow showers subside on Friday night, with mostly cloudy skies. Adolescent casualties (-11 degrees Celsius).
The sky should be partly cloudy on Saturday, with highs in the mid 20’s (-3 degrees Celsius) … a great day to go out and play in the snow!

Partly cloudy on Saturday night, with single-digit minimums (-15 to -13 degrees Celsius).
We hope to start our Sunday with a little sun, but the sky becomes cloudy as the morning progresses. The highs, however, should reach 30 degrees (0 degrees Celsius) – another great day for playing in the snow!
The next storm is still about to reach us on Sunday night.
However, the upper level disturbance that this surface system will generate will not cross the west coast until Saturday morning, so it won’t be until then that our computer models will benefit from direct observations from our ground-based weather balloon network. (called radiosonde). Until then, I can’t really be confident about some details.
Snow will develop – that’s for sure – but the big question is the thermal profile of the low atmosphere. It still looks like some of us will see a transition from snow to freezing rain and rain, but whoever gets that change is still in the air (no pun intended – really – those words just came out – you really don’t want to know what’s going on in my head ).

But I am seeing enough suggestions from the models to think that a change will occur at least in the southern two-thirds of our area, so the amounts of snow look less impressive now – maybe about an inch in total from Sunday night until Monday. morning. Of course, if something changes radically and we all get snow, then the amount of snow will increase.
And for those of you concerned about another return to deep freezing, stop worrying. I don’t see anything like the temperature regime we just came out of in the next two weeks, which puts us in March, where explosions in the Arctic become even less likely.
