Snow showers, winter mix expected today

A warm front is heading our way, but we won’t see warmer temperatures until Wednesday and Thursday here. Partly cloudy skies will quickly fill and become overcast until noon, and highs will struggle around 40F this afternoon.

Wet weather is on the way and parts of our western and northern areas may receive an inch or two of wet snow in the late afternoon and / or evening. Pay attention. The rest of us will see a wintry mix of light snow turning to rain with those temperatures flirting with 40F. It will be a sloppy slippery or slippery evening walk with snow most likely north of M 59. Midwest Michigan is subject to a winter weather advisory starting in the afternoon. .

SUNSET: 5:05 p.m.

The rain becomes a little heavier and more regular on Wednesday. The good news on a busy travel day (?) Is that the highs will drop from 45F to 50F in the late afternoon and evening. So no worries about snow and ice. Still, pooling and impounding are possible, so be careful when you get to where you need to go.

We should see the rain end at 2 a.m. Thursday, which means it will be dry for the American Thanksgiving Parade for you on Local 4 starting at 6 a.m. Look for morning lows in the low 40s and Thanksgiving highs in the mid 50s under partially sunny skies. Any prolonged sun will give us a 60F chance to be thankful.

Black Friday looks good to go with another balmy day in the low 50s under milky sunshine. Weak disturbance moves through Friday evening and clears early Saturday. It will probably be a winter mix with a good cover of snow overnight. Then we should dry off and bounce with the sun on Small Business Saturdays as temperatures cool down into the 40s. The Local4Casters app is still your best weapon and your best tool in preparing for our ever-changing weather, and it’s free!
