A few flakes today, more snow this weekend

DETROIT As expected, snow on Thursday night was mostly unimportant in the area.

Many of us have yet to see just a breeze, while a few may have received very light dusting – especially near and north of I-69.

Once these light flakes move out, the rest of us Finally Friday, as Brandon likes to call it, should be mostly cloudy, with highs perhaps reaching the mid 20s (-5 degrees Celsius). Winds are blowing from the northeast at 5 to 10 km / h.

Today’s sunrise is at 07:33 and today’s sunset at 18:02

Friday night mostly cloudy, with lows in the mid teens (-9 degrees Celsius). Light snow will develop late at night for some of us, especially in the south.

Light snow is likely on Saturday, until Saturday night. It still looks like a snowfall of 1 to 2 inches. Highest Saturday in the low 20s (-6 degrees Celsius), and lower Saturday night again in the single digits (-13 degrees Celsius).

Partly cloudy to start Sunday, then it will be mostly cloudy. Highlights in the upper teens (-8 to -7 degrees Celsius).

The core of this current Arctic boom is arriving Sunday night and Monday, with low Sunday night into the single digits (-16 degrees Celsius), and the highest Monday only in the mid teens (-9 degrees Celsius). There may be some snow on Monday.

The models differ a lot about Tuesday’s storm. They agree that we will get snow, but do not strongly agree on where the surface will be low pressure area, and this makes a big difference in how much snow we get. The GFS model gives us maybe 3 inches of snow, while the ECMWF gives us 4 to 8 inches.

We do not get any snow material from the UKMET model, but the surface pattern looks more like the ECMWFs. Meanwhile, the GEM does not look like the other three, so I discount it. So plan now serious hoeing Tuesday, although the details will only become more certain later this weekend.

As for the Thursday storm, the model differences are even greater. The ECMWF almost misses us, while the GFS plows us with another solid snowfall.

The bottom line is that the pattern change we will see next week will be one of the major storms affecting the eastern US, in contrast to the weaker systems we have seen in recent times. Stay tuned!
