Some of us have had some light snow already, and more is on the way for all.
For the rest of Thursday, we’ll see snow move in from the west/northwest, but it should be fairly light stuff and should wrap up before midnight.
We’re expecting a trace to a few tenths of an inch. Higher amounts, close to half an inch, are possible up near the Saginaw Bay.
Cold for now, warmer temps on the way
Below-zero wind chills continue the next few mornings, as lows will be in single digits for most of us.
The middle of next week brings our next warm-up, with highs near 40 degrees.
Few snowflakes Sunday
Long-range models continue to show a few light snow showers Sunday, but as previously mentioned, it should have little to no impact.
Wintry mess middle of next week
Long-range models all have impactful weather headed our way for Wednesday and Thursday of next week, but they’re all putting out a bit of a different solution.
The track of the low will ultimately determine whether we see rain, snow or a mix. This is where the long-range models are all a little different.
At this point, we’re planning on a rain/snow mix Wednesday and Thursday, but it’s worth noting that this forecast will likely be tweaked over the coming days.
It’s safe to say that impactful weather can be expected Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
