The cold Arctic front is approaching; Monday’s snowstorm update

by

DETROIT – A cold Arctic front is approaching the area in the early hours of this Friday morning.

At the time of writing (Friday at 4 am), temperatures in front of the front were between 30 and 30 lows (0 to 1 degree Celsius) and temperatures behind the front have already dropped at 20 degrees (-7 degrees Celsius) to Lake Houghton.

Once the front passes, our temperatures will drop in the mid-20s (-4 to -3 degrees Celsius) and remain almost stable there during the balance of the day. Still, a northwesterly wind at a speed of 10 to 20 mph will keep wind chills well below teenagers (-11 degrees Celsius).

There are a few showers of snow accompanying the forehead, but I don’t expect any buildup for most of us, maybe a dust in the thumb.

Today’s sunrise is at 7:55 a.m. and today’s sunset at 5:35 p.m.

Mostly clear, Friday night and it will be our coldest night of the winter season so far, with lows in low teens (-11 degrees Celsius).

Saturday seems like a great day out on the slopes if you’re a skier or snowboarder! Mostly cloudy skies in the morning and some high clouds in the afternoon. Highs of the upper 20s (-2 degrees Celsius) will not be too difficult to take if we can keep that sun. Oh, and the wind will also be less than 10 mph.

Clouds rise on Saturday night, with lows close to 20 degrees (-7 degrees Celsius).

Little snow develops on Sunday, and that doesn’t seem like a big deal – an inch or less of buildup (probably less). Highs close to 30 degrees (-1 degrees Celsius).

I’m starting to see a bit of the trend toward a more common solution in nighttime computer models, and our Monday storm now looks more like a Monday night storm.

I think most of the day on Monday will be dry, with maybe a little snow in the afternoon near the state line.

While there are still some small differences in the models that make a big difference in our forecast, it looks like the snow will head north Monday night. The best opportunity to see several inches of buildup is between the M-59 / Hall highway and the state line. Certainly, the further south it is in our area, the better the chance of seeing some shocking snow.

Viouslybviamente, I can not specify as to the amounts of snow well in advance, especially with a situation like this storm (a heavy snowfall on the north shore). But overall, it seems to be a scenario where the thumb reaches only an inch or two, while the amounts close to the state line could approach five or six inches.

Again, this is PRELIMINARY and could change. Fortunately, with Monday night syncing, Brandon and I should be able to really specify you on Local 4 News this Monday morning, as well as on ClickOnDetroit.com and our app.
