More snow tonight – here’s what to expect

[ad_1]

STRAIT – Wasn’t it pretty snow on Sunday?

It was very light, fluffy snow that was easy to shovel or sweep, and great for sledding and skiing (and snowshoeing – I have to mention this because my cousin Sandy went snowshoeing yesterday).

The next batch of snow will arrive will be heavier snow weight, so it will be more difficult to shovel but, on the good side, it will be better for making snowmen!

But first, we’ll have a dry day on Monday, with limited sunny breaks even possible this morning. But we’ll darken for the afternoon. Highs to low in the mid 1930s (0 to 1 degrees Celsius), with a northerly wind turning northeast at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunrise today is at 7:53 a.m. and sunset is at 5:39 p.m.

Snow does develop, but probably not before midnight or after – the roads should still be fine tonight if you have to go out. Low in the upper 20s (-2 degrees Celsius).

We will continue to grind snow on Tuesday. When it comes to accumulations, it looks like the heaviest snow can now fall just through the central core of our region – 2 to 4 inches are likely, with less southerly as you approach the state line.

I’ve put my snow forecast in a specific 4ZONE forecast of local quantities on the free Local4Casters app and on ClickOnDetroit – check this to see what I’m expecting where you live!

Highs on Tuesday are expected to be again between the low to mid-1930s (0-1 degrees Celsius).

The snow ends Tuesday evening, with depressions in the mid-1920s (-5 to -4 degrees Celsius).

Rather cloudy Wednesday, with highs close to 30 degrees (-1 degree Celsius).

Becoming partly cloudy on Wednesday evening and clear skies will allow temperatures to drop in the mid-teens (-10 degrees Celsius).

Partly cloudy on Thursday, with highs in the mid-1920s (-4 degrees Celsius).

Thursday night mostly clear, with lows in teens (-11 degrees Celsius), and we might even see single-digit numbers in our colder rural areas.

Rather sunny Friday, with highs in the mid-1920s (-4 degrees Celsius).

Increasing clouds on Saturday, with highs within 30 seconds (0 degrees Celsius). At this point, it looks like the daylight hours should be dry until our next weather system picks up speed. Snow is expected to develop on Saturday night, with a winter mix that could develop overnight and continue into the day on Sunday.
