Tracking snow and rain this weekend

There is little snow on Saturday morning, and there may be light rain and snow in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 30s (3 to 4 degrees Celsius).

On Saturday nights, light and snowy rains are possible, with lows in the mid-1930s (between 0 and 1 degree Celsius).

If you read my article yesterday, I talked about a change to Sunday’s forecast because computer models now take a top-level perturbation from the southwest and add it with the top-level perturbation associated with weak cold forehead running through the state.

Well, this morning’s models have been back to where they were two days ago and now keep the two perturbations apart. As such, the cold front reappears progressively (i.e., constantly moving eastward, rather than braking and stopping), so I think we’ll keep Sunday mostly dry, albeit cloudy, with highs of nine to 30 years above (4 degrees Celsius).

It looks like a modest weather system will produce another chance of light rain and snow on Monday, with highs close to 40 degrees (5 degrees Celsius).

Tuesday partly cloudy, with highs again near 40 degrees (5 degrees Celsius).

Mostly cloudy at Festivus (Wednesday) and windy. However, these winds will blow in a southerly direction, which should increase temperatures in the mid-1940s (7 degrees Celsius). Happy Holidays! Good luck with your deeds of strength and the transmission of your complaints …

Rain showers develop Wednesday evening and then change to light snow overnight after the passage of a powerful cold front. If temperatures drop fast enough and we get a northeast wind behind the front, we’ll get help from Lake Huron effect, which would increase our chances of getting enough lining to give us a white Christmas.

On Christmas Eve and the night itself will be windy and cold, with temperatures that will remain constant around 30 degrees (-1 degrees Celsius) during the day, with wind chills around 10 degrees (-12 degrees). centigrade). It is unclear what the wind direction will be on Thursday. If it’s northwest wind, as one model suggests, we probably won’t have additional snowfall during the day. If more westerly wind develops, as another model suggests, then some Lake Michigan effect snow bands will reach the entire state.

Christmas day will continue to be windy or windy, with chances of snow showers once again depending on the direction of the wind, as discussed above. Highs in the upper 20s (-3 degrees Celsius), with chills in single digits (-17 to -12 degrees Celsius). Merry Christmas!
