AND 11. PEOPLE WERE HURT TONIGHT . NEARLY 70,000 PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT POWER IN THAT AREA. NOW
FOR ONE WEATHER WITH EXACT
TRACK. FOUR D. OH IT’S BEEN A
BUSY COUPLE OF DAYS FOR
HUMANITIES, AND IT’S JUST THIS.
THIS HERE IT’S JUST GETTING
STARTED. BUT IT’S YOU KNOW, IT’S
WHAT WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING THE
ENTIRE WEATHER TEAM. WE’VE ALL
BEEN CONSULTING WITH EACH OTHER.
YOU KNOW, I FIGURED IT OUT. WE
HAVE OVER 100 YEARS OF COMBINED
EXPERIENCE LIKE IT, SO I MEAN,
THAT’S A LOT OF EXPERIENCE. SO A
LOT OF EYES ON THE FORECAST DATA
FOR YOU TRYING TO NARROW THINGS
DOWN AND REALLY FINE TUNE THIS
FORECAST, WHICH IS VERY
COMPLICATED HAS A LOT OF
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS TO THIS
STORM. 27 DETROIT DONE IN 19 IN
ANN ARBOR UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES THERE 25 IMPORT HERE ON 24
IN ADRIAN. HERE’S WHERE THINGS
STAND FOR THE DAY TOMORROW. IT’S
A GREAT DAY FOR YOU TO GET OUT.
GET THOSE ERRANDS. RUN GET YOUR
GROCERY SHOPPING THE LAST MINUTE
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. TOMORROW IS
THE PERFECT DAY. IF YOU CAN. I
KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WORK, BUT
IT’S A GOOD DAY TO GET THAT DONE
LITTLE SUNSHINE IN THE MORNING
CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON AND A
HIGH OF 32. FOUR O’CLOCK
THURSDAY IS WHEN THE WINTER
STORM WATCH GOES INTO EFFECT
WEST OF US IT DOES NOT INCLUDE
OUR AREA AS OF RIGHT NOW, BUT TO
THE WEST OF US, THEY’LL GET THE
SNOW FIRST SO LIKELY IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS, THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE WILL ISSUE SOME
SORT OF ADVISORY OR WARNING OR
WATCH FOR SOUTHEAST LOWER
MICHIGAN. BUT RIGHT NOW WE’RE
STILL WATCHING THE MODELS AND
TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY
THAT’S GOING TO BE. SO THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL BE
HANDLING THAT OVER THE NEXT 24
TO 48 HOURS, AND WE’LL BRING YOU
THAT INFORMATION. BUT NOW IT
INCLUDES LANSING, JACKSON,
KALAMAZOO AND GRAND RAPIDS
BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT
WILL GET THAT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
AND IT WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES.
SO IF YOU YOU’RE HEADED TO THE
WESTERN PART OF OUR STATE.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT BY
SATURDAY EVENING. CLOSE TO TWO
FT OF SNOW NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION FOR KALAMAZOO, PARTS OF
GRAND RAPIDS AND THEN LANSING IN
JACKSON, GETTING AS MUCH AS
EIGHT TO MAYBE EVEN A FOOT OF
SNOW AROUND HERE. THREE O’CLOCK
IS WHEN WE’LL START TO SEE A
LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE WORK ITS
WAY IN. IT WILL BE LIGHT AND
THEN BECOME HEAVIER AS WE GO
THROUGH THE EVENING ON THURSDAY,
THEN AT SOME POINT THURSDAY
EVENING IN THE EARLY PART OF
FRIDAY MORNING IS WHEN WE SEE
THAT CHANGE OVER AND THAT IS
CRITICAL AS TO HOW MUCH SNOW WE
GET. AT THIS POINT, THE EAST
SIDE WILL HAVE RAIN IN THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. HOURS, BUT
EVERYWHERE IN METRO DETROIT BY
SEVEN A.M. WILL BE COVERED IN
HEAVY SNOW AND THE WINDS WILL BE
PICKING UP AS WELL. AND THIS
SNOW WILL NOT BE DONE UNTIL AT
LEAST IT LOOKS LIKE AT THIS
POINT SATURDAY MIDDAY. MAYBE
INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE COULD
STILL BE GETTING A FEW SNOW
SQUALLS HERE AND THERE, BUT THE
HEAVIEST SNOW WILL FALL ON
FRIDAY. NOW NORMALLY I WOULD NOT
SHOW YOU THIS 48 HOURS OUT, BUT
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MODEL
DATA SHOWING THE EAST SIDE
VERSUS THE WEST SIDE. SO AT THIS
POINT, AND THIS WILL CHANGE. I
GUARANTEE YOU THIS WILL CHANGE.
BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THE EAST
SIDE EXPECTING AROUND 4 TO 5
INCHES, BUT AS YOU GO WEST AND
ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST, THAT’S
WHERE YOU GET THOSE HEAVIER SNOW
TOTALS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
TO GET SOME DOUBLE DIGIT SNOW
TOTALS, BUT AGAIN THAT COULD
RADICALLY CHANGE IF THAT RAIN
DOES NOT CHANGE OVER TO SNOW
UNTIL LATER ON FRIDAY. ALRIGHT
WIND GUSTS. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH
A GUARANTEE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
HIGH WINDS AND THAT IS GOING TO
CAUSE WINDCHILLS SUB ZERO FRIDAY
AT ONE O’CLOCK, EXPECTING A 53
MILE PER HOUR GUSTS, MAYBE EVEN
MORE THAN THAT. AND AS WE GO
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION TO GET 50. MAYBE
EVEN 55 CLOSE TO 60 MPH WITH US
, AND THAT WIND WILL CONTINUE
ALL THE WAY THROUGH CHRISTMAS
EVE. YOUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT.
MOSTLY CLEAR 23 DEGREES.
TOMORROW WE START OUT WITH SOME
SUNSHINE. IT WILL BE A DRY DAY
TOMORROW, BUT IT’S THURSDAY.
THAT’S OUR DAY OF CHANGE WHEN
THAT SNOW STARTS TO ARRIVE LATE
IN THE EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS, AND BY FRIDAY,
WE’LL HAVE PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP VERY
QUICKLY. 35 DEGREES WILL BE
REACHED, REALLY, AND THEY’RE
VERY, VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS
FRIDAY AND WITHIN JUST A MATTER
OF HOURS WILL GO FROM 35 DOWN TO
THE TEENS, AND THAT’S WHEN WE’RE
EXPECTING THAT FLASH FREEZING TO
GO ON ON THE ROAD, SO BE MORE
THAN MODEL DATA COMING IN
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SO THAT MEANS
TOMORROW MORNING, BRANDON WILL
HAVE EVEN MORE INFORMATION AND
CONTINUE FINE TUNING THE
TIMELINE IN THOSE SNOW TOTALS.
SO JOIN US TOMORROW MORNING
STARTING AT 4:30 A.M. FOR LOCAL
4 NEWS AND THEN STREAMING ON
