Here comes the cold – and a weekend storm to watch

by

DETROIT Tuesday’s snow wiped out almost exactly as we showed you on Local 4 News Today, and the system is now gone.

Cold air in its aftermath will be with us for the next few days – you will notice the cold, although it is far from what you would affectionately call ‘Polar Vortex cold’. It’s just normal winter cold, and we can handle it.

In some parts of the area, we quickly cleared up, making a morning sunshine possible in those places. However, we should be cloudy again by noon. Altitude in the middle to above 20 (-3 to -2 degrees Celsius), with a north wind of 5 to 10 km / h giving cold air.

It seems that snow bands from Lake Huron Lake will remain just east of the thumb (people in Ontario among the lake, of course, get it). However, a few high-resolution computer models suggest that a band may drift a little westward and come close to our shoreline. If you live right next to Lake Huron, you should watch the app’s radar today to monitor the tires.

Today’s sunrise is at 07:51 and today’s sunset at 17:42

Partly cloudy and noticeably colder on Wednesday evening, with low to low teens (-11 degrees Celsius). Northwesterly wind with 5 to 10 km / h.

Partly cloudy on Thursday morning, then it will be mostly cloudy in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 20s (-5 to -4 degrees Celsius).

Partly cloudy Thursday night, with lower teens (-11 degrees Celsius) again low.

Friday sunny – it’s always great to end the work week with a little sunshine! Highlights in the mid 20s (-4 degrees Celsius).

Friday night mostly clear, with very low teens (-11 degrees Celsius).

This morning’s new computer model surveys show interesting trends. There is no change to the Saturday forecast – we have a dry day that starts with a little sunshine and probably ends with more clouds than sun. Highlights in the top 20s (-2 degrees Celsius) – what a great day for kids to go outdoor riding!

Cloudy Saturday night, with lows in the low 20s (-5 degrees Celsius).

Sunday is the interesting day. Of the four long-range models, two (the ECMWF and UKMET) move the storm right east and far enough to our south that we will miss all precipitation completely. Meanwhile, the other two models (the GFS and GEM) have it further north and bring snow into the area.

Given the model performance with Tuesday’s storm, I lean heavily towards the ECMWF and UKMET, keeping most of us dry on Sunday. Obviously, those of you in the south will be the closest to the system, so even the slightest drift northward can bring snow into your area. Highest Sunday in the low thirties (-1 to 0 degrees Celsius).

I will continue to monitor things throughout the week and keep you posted here in my daily weather article and on Twitter (@ PGLocal4).
