Some gusty winds came with
today's milder temperatures.
Yeah, the temperatures are milder.
But George, you're saying they're
gonna crash again tomorrow when
we call that, what a flash
freeze. Flash freeze of taking place tonight.
Guys. You gonna wake up tomorrow morning?
Go. What just happened?
Yeah, it's going to get
colder here in West Michigan.
Here in just a few hours through Friday,
13 weather ball is blue.
Colder weather in a view

The winds yesterday were
from the east and northeast.
They were gusting to 40 plus miles an hour.
For a while the winds went calm as
that low pressure system went overhead.
Now they're shifted around to the West
and they're gusting to almost 40 mph.
That's kind of hampering
those recovery crews.
Temperatures that went up before
the cold front went through and they
climbed up into the mid and upper 30s,
even 40s to the South.
They have now fallen back a little
bit as that colder air starts
to rush on in already below.
Freezing up north,
you can see temperatures are
crashing here in the next few hours,
falling below freezing right around
eight 9:00 o'clock this evening
and then we will see them drop into
the teens in most areas and stay
well below freezing here tomorrow.
So no snow melting from the sleet
and ice that we have accumulated.
There's the low pressure system
that's now moved up Overlake
here a little bit further north,
but nonetheless it's taken all
that precipitation out of the area.
Now there might be a couple
of flurries this evening,
but some breaks in the clouds
later on tonight.
As the winds lighten up where
those clouds clear out out,
that's where it'll get the coldest still.
See a few lake effect clouds
early in the day.
Now,
there might be another few flurries
here overnight tomorrow night.
Nothing of any consequence.
But look at this Saturday.
Lots of sunny skies.
Once again,
this is about the third or fourth weekend.
We've had a sunny Saturday and
we'll also be sunny during the day
on Sunday down to the South here.
This is late Sunday night and
Monday's weather.
That will be some rain and perhaps
a wintry mix.
This time it'll be north of US
10 for the most part.
In terms of a temperatures,
we're going to cool off to 25 about
a dozen degrees cooler than today.
We'll recover a little bit here on Saturday,
back up about 10 degrees into the
mid 30s and then even milder during
the day on Sunday as we get close to 40.
And then we're going to see some
cooler weather again next week.
Long range outlook still says cold out West,
warm into the eastern part of the
US that includes us for the first
five days of March and it will be
what just about everywhere with the
exception of South Florida and South Texas.
During that same five day period,
so windy this evening,
but then the winds die down,
just a couple of flurries here.
There under mostly cloudy
skies around 20 or colder to
the north, low to mid 20s from
Holland and South Haven southward.
Now it may get down into the single numbers
along US10 just depending on your clearing.
Just a couple of flurries this evening,
a low teens elsewhere and we'll be in the
mid to upper teens here in the greater
Grand Rapids area down towards Battle Creek.
13-9 year side forecast
virtually dry Friday, Saturday.
Sunday there's the rain late Sunday night.
Maybe a wintry mix north
of Grand Rapids on Monday,
but I think it will be all rain here.
And then that wintry mix will end on Tuesday.
Later on next week,
another wintry mix next Thursday
night into Friday.
They may linger into Saturday,
but temperatures will be 40 plus,
including 49 on Thursday.
Well, we did see a little bit of a warm
up today if you want to call it that,
but that's all about the change George.
Outside on the weather deck with details,
definitely a flash freeze on the way guys.
And out ahead of that we
have some strong winds.
Yes, still going on here in West of Michigan.
Had a little bit of light precipitation
earlier that came to an end once
the cold front came through.
13 weather ball is blue,
much colder weather in view for your Friday.
In this view sponsored by Countryside
Greenhouse of Allendale highs today we're
still cold to the north into the mid 30s.
We made 37 here in Grand Rapids.
Mid 40s from South Haven through
Battle Creek have a little trouble
with the temperature sensor over in
Holland they sent somebody over to fix
it because it did not make 53 there.
37 was within 3 degrees of our
forecast high of 40.
We have done that eight days in
a row here in Grand Rapids there
are a couple of flurries,
especially northern Kent County here in to.
Of Muskegon area in the past hour or so,
but those are pretty much gonna be
it here for the rest of the night.
And you can see those snow showers
are diminishing and in the areas
that do clear tomorrow morning it
could get very cold low in mid teens
even single numbers up around Big
Rapids but basically cloudy here at
the Lakeshore tomorrow night we're
going to see some clouds and a little
bit of light snow push through.
This is all no or low impact kind of systems.
And then look at this lots of sunshine
Saturday. I think this is like the.
3rd or 4th Saturday we'll have a sunshine
and we'll do the same here on Sunday,
but next week we're going to
start to see some rain move in.
That will be during the day Monday.
Just a few flurries here tonight.
Yes, I think we've already seen this.
Less than 1/10 of an inch of
snow in many areas.
A little bit of light snow US10
northward overnight Friday night here
in the greater Grand Rapids area.
Again there'll be a couple of
flurries overnight and you went, ohh,
I guess it did snow just a little bit.
The big thing is the wind still
gusting to around 30 plus right
on through 10:00 o'clock tonight.
They'll wind down pretty quickly.
And they all will not be a factor
here for the next several days.
In fact,
they go nearly calm by Friday
evening forecast.
Then for tomorrow,
look for mostly cloudy skies,
low and mid 20s well below freezing.
Nothing's gonna move mid and
upper 20s further to the South.
So watch out for some black ice
here late tonight and tomorrow,
low and mid 20s up north,
mostly cloudy skies,
some sunshine early on until those clouds
fill on in during the late morning,
early afternoon.
Similar here in the greater
Grand Rapids area,
we may see a couple of breaks
in the clouds early on.
Today,
but it will become overcast
and temperatures in the
mid 20s, including 25 here in GR
13-9 year side forecast coming
Sunny on Saturday up to 3643 with
sunshine in the morning on Sunday
before those high clouds come on in.
Next weather system will get us after
about 3:00 o'clock in the morning on
Monday morning with rain and maybe
even a wintry mix up closer to US ten
as we hit 40 degrees with the rain.
And that will end on Tuesday,
dropping temperatures kind of like what
we're going to have here tonight as another.
Cold front goes through that will keep
us in the 30s Wednesday first day
of March and then jumping into the
40s for next Thursday with a wintry
mix maybe lasting into next Saturday
and then next to Sunday we'll see
temperatures right around 41 degrees.
