DETROIT – Tuesday’s snow fell almost exactly as we showed you in Local 4 News Today, and this system no longer exists.
The cold air in due course will be with us for the next few days; you’ll notice the cold, though this is far from what you would affectionately call “Polar Vortex Cold”. It only gets normal cold in the winter and we can do it.
We had a quick clean up at night in some parts of the area, which will allow us to catch the morning sun in these places. Still, we should be cloudy again in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 20s (-3 to -2 degrees Celsius), with north winds of 5 to 10 mph adding some cold to the air.
It looks like the lake-like snow bands of Lake Huron will stay just east of the thumb (of course, the people of Ontario, who are in the wind of the lake). However, a couple of high-resolution computer models suggest that one band may drift a bit to the west and approach our shoreline. If you live next to Lake Huron, watch our app’s radar today to monitor these bands.
Today’s sunrise is at 7:51 h and today’s sunset is at 17:42
It is partly cloudy and noticeably colder on Wednesday night, with lows in low teens (-11 degrees Celsius). Northwest wind between 5 and 10 mph.
Thursday morning partly cloudy, then later in the afternoon it will become mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid-20s (-5 to -4 degrees Celsius).
It became partly cloudy Thursday night, with lows back to low teens (-11 degrees Celsius).
Mostly sunny on Fridays – it’s always great to end the work week with some sun! Highs in the mid-20s (-4 degrees Celsius).
Mostly clear Friday night, with lows down to low teens (-11 degrees Celsius).
This morning’s new computer model features some interesting trends. There are no changes to Saturday’s forecast – we will have a dry day that starts with a little sun and will probably end with more clouds than sun. Highs in the upper 20s (-2 degrees Celsius): What a great day for the kids to go out on the sled!
Saturday night cloudy, with lows to lows of the 1920s (-5 degrees Celsius).
Sunday is the interesting day. Of the four long-range models, two (the ECMWF and UKMET) move the storm east and far enough to our south as we would lose all rainfall completely. Meanwhile, the other two models (the GFS and the GEM) have it further north and bring snow to the area.
Given the model’s performance with Tuesday’s storm, I’m leaning firmly towards ECMWF and UKMET and keeping most of us dry on Sunday. Viously, obviously, those to the south will be closer to the system, so even the slightest drift to the north would bring some snow to your area. Sunday highs down 30s (-1 to 0 degrees Celsius).
I will continue to monitor things throughout the week and keep you up to date on both my daily weather article and Twitter (@ PGLocal4).
