Some flakes today, more snow this weekend

DETROIT – As expected, Thursday night’s snow was irrelevant throughout the area.

Many of us have seen no more than a flood, while some may have received a very light sweep – particularly near and north of I-69.

Once those flakes of light dissipate, the rest of our Finally Friday, as Brandon likes to call it, must be cloudy, with highs perhaps reaching mid-20s (-5 degrees Celsius). The wind will blow from the northeast at a speed of 5 to 10 mph.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:33 am and today’s sunset is at 6:02 pm

Mostly cloudy on Friday night, with minimum temperatures in the middle of the middle (-9 degrees Celsius). Light snow will develop for some of us, especially in the south, late at night.

Probably light snow on Saturday, continuing on Saturday night. It still looks like a 1-2 inch snowfall. Highs on Saturday at 20 degrees (-6 degrees Celsius) and lows on Saturday night returning to single digits (-13 degrees Celsius).

Partly cloudy to start on Sunday, then changing to very cloudy. Maximum in adolescence (-8 to -7 degrees Celsius).

The core of this current arctic wave arrives on Sunday and Monday night, with the lows on Sunday night well below one digit (-16 degrees Celsius) and the highs on Monday only in mid-adolescence (-9 degrees Celsius). There may be light snow on Monday.

The models disagree a lot in Tuesday’s storm. They agree that we will get snow, but they strongly disagree about where the low pressure area of ​​the surface will be, and that makes a big difference in the amount of snow that we will get. The GFS model gives us maybe 3 inches of snow, while the ECMWF gives us 4 to 8 inches.

We don’t get snow quantities from the UKMET model, but its surface pattern looks more like the ECMWF. Meanwhile, the GEM is nothing like the other three, so I’m disregarding it. So now, plan some serious dig on Tuesday, although the details are no longer certain until the end of this weekend.

As for Thursday’s storm, the model divergences are even greater. ECMWF almost completely fails, while GFS drags us through another solid blizzard.

The end result is that the change in pattern that we will see next week will be one of the most significant storms affecting the eastern United States, as opposed to the weaker systems that we have seen recently. Stay tuned!
