WINTER. IS. COMING.

-
Snow is possible as we enter the weekend into early next week. Several weather systems are expected to move south from Canada, bringing a fresh surge of cold air across the Great Lakes region. As this cold air interacts with the relatively warm lake waters, conditions will become increasingly favorable for lake effect snow to develop.

Winds are forecast to turn northwest, creating an ideal setup for snow bands to form over portions of western and northern Michigan. The most impacted areas will be ones that are located next to lake Michigan but the snow bands will likely be all across the state.

Forecast models still differ on strength, but the most likely window for lake effect snow appears to be Sunday through Tuesday. Most of Michigan can expect at least some snow during this period, especially near the lakeshores.

More detailed updates will be available soon as forecast models come into better agreement and the overall pattern becomes clearer.

A sharp drop in temperatures is on the way for Michigan beginning Friday, lasting through Monday and potentially into early next week. This stretch will bring well-below-normal temperatures, brisk winds, and periods of lake-effect snow, especially near the Great Lakes. --- OVERVIEW: Cold air will begin spilling into the region Friday as a broad upper trough settles across the Great Lakes.

Frankfort, Traverse City, Marquette, Munising, and possibly Muskegon, and Grand Haven could have poor trick or treating conditions for tonight, DONT CANCEL PLANS YET! Wait until 4 - 5 PM posts before canceling. The main issue for today is rain, and of course the cold. However the cold is way less of a problem then rain. Rain could completely ruin certain costumes or severely hinder them. Face paint-bassd costumes could be ruined for an example. If you live in these cities DONT CANCEL!  Night time is still several hours out. Thats enough time for things to change. Check back on this blog 4 - 5 pm EST.
