BENEFITING SO FAR SINCE DECEMBER ALONE, THE WATER LEVEL AT BIG BEAR LAKE HAS GONE UP AT LEAST
FOUR FT. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, 4WARN
WEATHER WITH CUTTING EDGE
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MOST UP TO
THE MINUTE FORECAST IN SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN. YOU SEE THOSE PICTURES
AND IT’S JUST INCREDIBLE TO
IMAGINE THAT AMOUNT OF SNOW OVER
SUCH A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME. YEAH, THEY’VE BEEN
GETTING STORM AFTER STORM AFTER
STORM AND FROM AREAS THERE.
CALIFORNIA THAT HAVE WENT FROM
SUCH AN EXTREME DROUGHT. TO GET
ALL OF THIS. IT’S GOT ITS PROS
AND CONS AS WELL WHILE DOWN IN
THE VALLEYS BETWEEN SAN
FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES, THERE
ARE FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCIES IN
EFFECT TODAY BECAUSE THEY’RE
DEALING WITH SO MUCH RAIN OUT
THERE IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME, SO THERE ARE ON THE ACTORS
SIDE OF THE FORECAST. WE’VE BEEN
ON THE ACTIVE SIDE OF THE
FORECAST, AND WE’RE GOING TO
CONTINUE THAT WITH YET MORE
WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY AS WE
HEAD INTO THE END OF THE WEEKEND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. EXACT TRACK
40 RADAR A CLEAN SWEEP. LEAVING
CROSS OUT ALL OF SOUTHEASTERN
MICHIGAN. IT’S BEEN A WORLD
SIMPLY NICE DAY TODAY, LOTS OF
SUNSHINE OUTSIDE ON TOWER CAM
OVER DOWNTOWN DETROIT. WE ARE
BRINGING IN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
CLOUD COVER AS WE’VE WORKED
THROUGHOUT THE PAST HOUR TO TWO
HOURS, AND WE WILL EXPECT THAT
CLOUD COVER TO INCREASE
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE
EVENING HOURS TONIGHT, 36 RIGHT
NOW, HERE IN DETROIT, 37 OVER IN
ANN ARBOR, 35 RIGHT NOW WORKING
INTO HOW AND 36 TONIGHT CHECKING
IN WITH US OVER AND ADRIAN THAT
SUNSHINE SHORT LIVED CLOUD COVER
CROSSING LAKE MICHIGAN. WORKING
INTO THE STATE. A LOT OF THIS IS
MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER,
BUT I AM EXPECTING THAT THICKER
CLOUD COVER TO MOVE IN AS WE GO
THROUGH THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT, A VERY
STRONG SYSTEM OUT OVER THE
MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES, TWO
AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE. WE’RE
DEALING WITH ONE JUST TO THE
NORTHEAST OF OKLAHOMA CITY,
WHICH IS BRINGING SEVERE WEATHER
TO PORTIONS OF THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY TONIGHT AND ONE OVER
PORTIONS OF NORTH DAKOTA. THAT’S
GIVING SNOW TO MINNESOTA DOWN
INTO IOWA AND ALSO MOVING INTO
WISCONSIN. THAT AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE AS IT PULLS OFF TO THE
EAST WILL BRING US OUR SNOW
CHANCES AS WE WORK THROUGHOUT
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, CLOUDS
AND RADAR DRY THROUGH MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT BUT INTO THE OVERNIGHT
AND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, WE
START TO GET THAT SNOW MOVING
RIGHT INTO THE INTO THE REGION.
FIVE O’CLOCK TOMORROW MORNING
WERE STOCKED IN. THIS IS NOT
GOING TO BE A MODERATE SNOW.
THIS IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE A
LIGHT SNOW THROUGHOUT MUCH OF
THE DAY HEADING THROUGHOUT OUR
SUNDAY WILL HOLD IT INTO THE
FORECAST BY NOON TOMORROW. THEN
I THINK WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF
BREAK BY SUNDAY EVENING WILL
HOLD ON TO SOME SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS SUNDAY EVENING AND THEN
WE KEEP THE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
FORECAST HEADING INTO THE DRIVE
TIME ON MONDAY MORNING. EIGHT
O’CLOCK MONDAY MORNING. YOU WILL
SEE THE FLAKES FLYING HEADING
OUT THE DOOR AND WE KEEP THEM
AROUND MAJORITY OF THE DAY
BEFORE THAT SYSTEM MOVES OUT. BY
LATE MONDAY NIGHT. THIS IS NOT
GOING TO BE A LOT OF SNOW AS WE
GO FROM SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY,
MOST PLACES BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT
1 TO 2 INCHES, MAYBE SOME PLACES
SEEING THREE INCHES, BUT KEEP IN
MIND. THIS IS OVER 48 HOURS. THE
ROADS FOR THE MOST PART ARE
ALREADY SALTED. FROM WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY SO WE CAN HANDLE THIS
. NOT A BIG SNOW SYSTEM, NOT BY
ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION,
BUT WE WILL WANT TO BE ON GUARD
FOR ANY OF THOSE ICY PATCHES AS
WE GO FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY, AND THEN MONDAY NIGHT.
INTO TUESDAY AS WELL. WE’LL DROP
THE 20-6 OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WE
WILL INCREASE THE CLOUD COVER
THROUGHOUT THIS EVENING. GOING
MOSTLY CLOUDY AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AND STAYING ON THE COLD
SIDE OF THINGS WITH THAT
NORTHEAST WIND AT ABOUT 5 TO 10
MILES AN HOUR HEADING INTO OUR
SUNDAY WE START TO BRING IN THAT
SNOW THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY
TEMPERATURES IN THE TWENTIES TO
START THE DAY WARMING INTO THE
THIRTIES BY THE TIME WE GET TO
TOMORROW AFTERNOON, SO WE’LL
STILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT
SNOW FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY
. SNOW REMAINS FOR MONDAY. UPPER
THIRTIES BY MY THE AFTERNOON.
THEN WE GET A STRETCH OF DRY
WEATHER TUESDAY ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THURSDAY, AND IT COMES
WITH A WARM UP BY THE TIME WE
GET TO THURSDAY, WE’RE INTO THE
UPPER FORTIES TO NEAR 50 DEGREES
BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THEN WE
HAD ST PATRICK’S DAY ON FRIDAY.
LOOKS LIKE WE GET A HEALTHY DOSE
OF RAINFALL HEADING OUR WAY. BUT
HIS COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND
THAT SYSTEM, WE WILL TURN THAT
OVER TO SOME SNOW SHOWERS AND
HIGHS INTO THE UPPER THIRTIES.
BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE FIRST
HALF OF NEXT WEEKEND, SO SAY, IT
AIN’T SNOW. AT LEAST WE’RE NOT
GOING TO SEE A LOT OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION AND FOR THE MOST
